Phil Mickelson Eyes Golf’s Next Superstar | Jackson Koivun Breaking Records & PGA vs LIV Battle
Phil Mickelson has hinted that Jackson Kovven, one of golf’s brightest young prospects, could be the perfect addition to his Elivy golf team, the High Flyers. Kovven, just 20 years old, has taken the PGA Tour by storm this season as an amateur. The Aubry University standout recently secured his full PGA Tour card through the circuit’s university ranking program, though he chose to defer membership for another year of college competition. That decision hasn’t slowed him down. By recording a third consecutive top 10 finish, Koven matched a feat not seen since Ken Venturi in 1956. His latest result, a tie for fourth at the Procourt Championship in Northern California, came against a stacked field that featured 10 US RDER Cup players, further proving he belongs among the games elite. It’s no surprise then that Kovven has caught the attention of Mickelson, a six-time major champion. Taking to X, the 54year-old praised a rising star. This young man is an amazing talent and destined for greatness. He would also look great in a high-flyers outfit winking face stock. Kovven’s resume is already impressive. Earlier this month, he played a key role in Team USA’s commanding victory over Great Britain and Ireland at the Walker Cup, cementing his reputation as a Rder Cup player in the making. Despite the hype and glowing endorsements from legends like Mikkelson, Kovven remains level-headed. I feel like I’ve gotten to that point where it’s become easier to play golf on the PGA Tour. He said recently, “The more you put yourself in these situations, the easier it is to get comfortable quicker.” Mickelson’s high-f flyers currently have a vacancy after Andy Ogalry was relegated from Aliv Golf last month. Several other big names also dropped out of the league including Henrik Stinson, Mito Pereira, Eubine Jen, Anthony Kim, and Frederick Jetrup, opening the door for fresh blood. With Koven stock soaring, speculation is bound to grow over whether Mickelson can tempt the young phenom in Elivy Golf’s ranks or whether the 20-year-old will stay the course on the PGA Tura.
