Phil Mickelson may be taking advice from a new swing coach, and he happens to be the most decorated quarterback of all time. Yes, we are talking about none other than New England Patriots superstar Tom Brady. TB12 is an avid golfer himself becoming a fixture at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, usually after winning a Super Bowl.
ESPN’s Ian O’Connor recently sat down with the five-time champ for a new piece he penned, but what really caught our attention were the tweets O’Connor posted about what didn’t make it into the column: how Lefty can improve his swing speed!

This isn’t the first time Brady was giving a world-class player advice. Check out this short Under Armour put together back in 2014 with Jordan Spieth, before he won his first major. Wouldn’t you know it…now he has two!
