The Gambler is the compelling story of Phil Mickelson - one of golf's most charismatic, daring, and complex champions. It explores how a left-handed kid from San Diego grew into a global icon by defying the odds, taking bold risks, and refusing to play it safe - both on and off the course. The book takes readers inside Mickelson's extraordinary career: his six major championship victories, his epic rivalry with Tiger Woods, his unforgettable shots and collapses, and his transformation into a fan favorite whose flaws and triumphs made him one of the most relatable figures in modern sports. Beyond golf, it delves into his personal struggles with gambling, his controversial move to LIV Golf, his devotion to his family, and his ongoing journey to redefine his legacy in his fifties. More than just a biography of a golfer, The Gambler is a story about risk, resilience, and the courage to live - and play - on your own terms. With insight and honesty, author Keith C. Lewis invites readers to see the man behind the swing: brilliant, flawed, unforgettable - and still chasing the next big shot.
