Phil Mickelson Doesn't Hold Back Thoughts On California Judge

Phil Mickelson has made it clear over the years that he isn't going to apologize for what he says on and off the golf course.

Mickelson, a six-time major champion, made headlines in 2022 when he left the PGA Tour for the Saudi-funded LIV Golf. He has said in the past that he believes the PGA Tour is on the decline, albeit fans don't agree with him.

As for his political beliefs, Mickelson has no issue calling out the Democratic Party. Last month, he put Chuck Schumer on blast for saying the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote nationwide, won't make it to President Trump's desk.

"How is this fighting for Americans? How is letting non citizens vote in American elections a good thing? It is NOT! He is not representing America , its citizens nor their best interests. He’s a traitor," Mickelson declared on social media.

Fast forward to June, and Mickelson has taken aim at Santa Barbara County Superior Court judge Donna Geck.

On Wednesday morning, Mickelson responded to a report about a judge granting requests for temporary restraining orders prohibiting Sable Offshore from restarting transportation of oil through the Las Flores Pipeline System.

Mickelson clearly believes Geck is to blame for this matter.

"Superior court judge Donna Geck using state law to violate federal law for her personal politics during a national energy emergency," Mickelson wrote on X. "Fire Marshall is now either in violation of her ridiculous order or his federal order to oversee the consent decree. SMH."

If we had to guess, this won't be the last time Mickelson calls out the Santa Barbara County judge.
