Beyond the competitive edge that Ogletree brings, Mickelson also sees his role as a mentor as crucial to the young player’s development. The six-time major champion emphasized how he intends to guide Ogletree, helping him navigate the pressures of professional golf while fostering his growth both as a player and as a team member. Ogletree, for his part, has expressed his eagerness to learn from one of the game’s all-time greats, acknowledging the unique opportunity to be mentored by Mickelson.
