**Phil Mickelson Envisions Teammate Cameron Tringale as Future Olympic Shooter**
Phil Mickelson, once ranked 2nd in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) and now sitting at 220, has faced significant challenges in recent years, including missing out on representing the USA at the Olympics. One major hurdle for Mickelson and other LIV Golf players has been acquiring OWGR points, making future Olympic participation increasingly difficult.
However, the HyFlyers GC Captain has expressed optimism about one of his teammates potentially representing the Stars and Stripes at the 2028 Olympics—not in golf, but in shooting. Mickelson recently shared a video on his official X account showcasing Cameron Tringale’s impressive shooting skills at the Strategic Edge Gun Range in Tennessee. In the video, Tringale hits a target 1000 yards away with precision, prompting Mickelson to laud his teammate’s accuracy.
Comparing Tringale to Yusuf Dikec, the Turkish sports shooter dubbed ‘Turkish John Wick’ for his exceptional performance and calm demeanor, Mickelson humorously suggested that Tringale could excel as a sports shooter at the 2028 Olympics. Whether Mickelson’s comments were a genuine endorsement or an inside joke, the veteran pro wrote in the caption, “Turns out the HyFlyers have our own Yusuf (Turkish John Wick). Olympics 2028 LA? Probably.”
This light-hearted endorsement from Mickelson has sparked curiosity and amusement among fans, adding a unique twist to the ongoing narrative of LIV Golf and its players.
