Phil Mickelson hails $100M veteran quarterback’s ‘high-level’ NFL return

Phil Mickelson reacted to an NFL quarterback, Philip Rivers’ impressive game after his return to the game. Rivers had signed a contract with the Indianapolis Colts earlier this month, and on Monday Night Football, he was amazing. The 44-year-old threw for 277 yards passing and two touchdowns.

Mickelson reacted to his game on his X (formerly Twitter) account. He sent a sweet message to the NFL star. He wrote:

"I am so enjoying watching Philip Rivers taking command and play at such a high level"

Philip Rivers, who has a net worth of $100 million (via Celebrity Net Worth), had an impressive time in his career. He was the first-round pick in the 2004 draft. He initially played for the Los Angeles Chargers until 2019 and then signed for the Colts in 2020 before returning to play with them again in 2025.

Rivers is the head coach of St. Michael Catholic High (AL). In his playing career, he was an eight-time Pro Bowler. He had initially announced his retirement in 2021 but again returned to the game.

In Week 16, the Colts played against the San Francisco 49ers. However, they struggled with the game and lost 48-27. They settled in third place in the AFC South standings.

Phil Mickelson reacts to a sweet gesture of a California school football team

Phil Mickelson is enjoying a good time away from the field these days. The 2025 LIV Golf season wrapped up with its finale in August, and since then, the six-time major winner has had a good time away from the field.

On Sunday, a fan page, Restoring Your Faith in Humanity, shared a heartfelt video of a California high school football team. The players put orange flowers at the feet of a young cheerleader battling leukemia.

Phil Mickelson reshared the video on his X (formerly Twitter) account with a heartfelt caption. He wrote:

"You can’t believe how much these small acts of kindness mean when you’re going through a difficult time. Well done"

This season on the LIV Golf Tour, Phil Mickelson had some notable finishes. He started the season with a T23 finish in the Adelaide event. He played three rounds of 72, 74, and 68. After a decent start, he grabbed attention at the Hong Kong event. The American golfer carded three rounds of 67, 65, and 64 to settle in a solo third place.

Mickelson then recorded a solo sixth in Miami, T4 in Virginia, and T23 in Andalucia. He had a good time playing on the LIV Golf Tour but struggled in the majors. Although he played in all four major tournaments, he struggled to make the cut in three of them. He was tied for 56th place at the Open Championship.
