Phil Mickelson's Height
6ft 2 (188 cm)
American professional Golfer, who has won 5 majors. In 2008 he claimed "In the last three or four years, through some of the stretching and stuff, I've probably grown a half inch to an inch...I've known that I've become a half inch, inch taller for a few years"

Q: "I see the PGA Tour media guide lists you at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds. You don't exactly look like 190 pounds". Phil: "It's a very old media guide...I'm still 6-foot-2"

@Nick: viper said the same thing and I saw him at open but wasn’t close enough suffice to say he didn’t look nearly as tall. Looked at least 3”. I’m 6’4”

I have met him (VERY nice guy btw). I am 6’2 and had about an inch on him at least. He is no taller than 6’1.

I think 6ft2 flat is the lowest I'd argue, other times as looked 6ft2½
Standing with rubbish posture he can look 6ft1-2

He looked a GOOD 3 inches shorter than

@Editor Rob: assuming Brady is just a solid 6’4 afternoon which he’s at mimimim that, I’d lean closer to 6’1”. I agree with Viper that’s how he looks up close. Maybe best case 6’1.5” and that was 10 years or more ago

@Viper: I doubt Rodgers is under 6’1”. I’d give him a strong 6’1 before a weak. If anything maybe he’s 6’1” flat at worst but he did measure 6’1 5/8 at the senior bowl. Even if it’s first thing out of bed somehow he’s still 6’0 7/8”. He’s not 6’2 though

@Sjane6: the reason we make a bit deal out of it is because we are in the miniority. We are honest as is Chaos Control. As for Phil, I don’t know. Most people aren’t aware it varies. Some assume they were mismeasured or that they grew or shrunk. I do not believe he grew

@Vincent Caleb @Canson I'm not sure I see why you all are making a big deal about your friends who claim one to two inches. Most Americans claim shoe heights which is one to two inches so they are no different than the average person. I'm actually shocked when I meet any guy who claims a barefoot height. I have rarely had that happen in my life.
A poster on a site about height shouldn’t want people to claim an accurate barefoot height?

@Canson Phil says in quote here that he got half-inch to an inch taller from stretching . Do you think Phil is someone who did not know about difference in morning and night measurements and had never measured in the morning , perhaps, or measured early in day for first time and was wearing shoes and shoe was taller? Very unlikely he gained length in height by stretching.

Congrats to Phil on one of the greatest accomplishments in golf history. Certified legend. 6’1.5” max. 6’1.25” is my guess.

He should be listed as 186cm.
Height aside though, he is one of the best golfers out there. A real class act as well.

one thing I'll say, if you compared Phil to Tiger's head size, there's about 3cm difference in Phil's length.

He doesn’t look 6’2”. I saw him at a tournament just like Viper (on grass as opposed to pavement) when I was on pavement and I still thought he was max 6’1 range. Of course at that type of tournament you see plenty of players and none of them look as tall as they claim

@Vincent
The people who had me at 6'4" weren't tall at all either. 5'+ but well below average. As you'd expect, those who are further away from your height range, tend to make the more extreme guesses. Most of those who guessed me at 6'8" were short too.

@Canson:
My friends all love to inflate their height. Even my own father does it. It annoys the heck out of me, but I never call them out in front of others just to not embarrass them. However, when my 6’2” friend claimed 6’4”, I rounded down 3/4 and claimed it too, so I made it obvious he was lying. The look on his face was priceless.

The girl was like 4’11”, so it really was a shot in the dark. When she said that we all exchanged a look of confusion at first.

Getting guessed 6'6" at 6'9" is unusually low. The lowest I've gotten was 6'4", and it only happened twice if I'm not mistaken.

@Vincent: I love calling out inflators. I know one of them. He’s 6’2” flat and used to claim 6’4 then 6’3.5 now 6’3”. We measured him at 6’2 and he admitted it in private but not public. Instead he swore he’s shrunken 2”. He’s just a pathological liar then another who’s around 190 cm that works at a bar we went to pre Covid. He claims 6’3.75 however and rounds to 6’4”. I’ve seen him tell people they’re 1-2” taller than they are. People just laugh when he begins talking about height and he wonders why. Although my 6’3 friend who looked taller on occasion and I explained why people laugh at him

Most commonly people guess me 6’5”-6’6”. The latter is just as frequent. Got a couple 6’4” and 6’7” guesses but they are rare. My brother gets guesses anywhere from 6’7”-6’11”, since no one is near his height enough to guess. One super short girl called him 6’6”, and one 6’2” inflator to 6’4” called him 7’0” lol.

@Vincent Caleb: I saw him on the grass when he was in a tournament and I wasn’t more than 10 feet away I think. He definitely isn’t 6’2. Viper is right that 186 could be it. I’d say 186-187 range. It’s always comical when someone sees an athlete in person and says “he’s 6’2” so you must be 6’5 if the athlete is 6’1 or you stand next to them and have them by 2” and they’re listed 6’4 so you must be 6’6. I’m sure at your size that you get guessed 6’6 regularly being I’ve gotten it before when I’m slightly shorter than you are

My brother guessed him at 6’1”. I would have guessed him 6’1.75” or 6’2” from pictures though. The top of his head was definitely under my brothers nose by a good bit, and my brother is 6’9”. 6’2” is ruled out for me. I think 6’1.25 or 6’1.5” may be a good compromise.

Next to 5’11.75” Tiger Woods Phil Mickelson doesn’t look anywhere near this listing. He may be like Tim Tebow, another dude who is listed 6’2.25”, but really is more like a strong 6’1” or weak 6’2”. I’ll guess 6’1.5” for Phil. My 6’9” brother has met him up close and said the very top of his head was quite obviously below his nose. I don’t know how good my brothers height guessing skills are, but if that is true, he is in no way 6’2.25”. I saw him from a distance, but not close enough to guess how tall he is, and I never met him. I haven’t met anybody on celebheights that I know of up close for sure, except Pete holmes. I have had many family members and friends get to see some of them so I will try to give as much info as I can on their pages.

I think a lot of golfers look shorter than the listing but maybe that's because they are often seen in big, open spaces. I could believe 6'3'' but for some reason I always thought he looked about 6'2'' or even under that. Maybe 6'2'' or just over is right.

@cmillzz I think he is referring to the stretches elongating his spine perhaps. He isn't saying his bones actually grew longer. Phil is a smart guy. Surely he would realize difference between a morning or out of bed height or night height.

@Nik, I think what happened was he simply measured much earlier in the day, thus getting a higher measurement which made him think he grew. Either that, or his posture improved, but legit growth in 30s doesn’t really seem possible.

Rickie Fowler and Rory McIlroy both prove you don't have to be 6 foot tall, and full of muscles like Tiger, to hit the ball a long way. Obviously that bodes well for golfers of shorter stature. I was a maximum 5'6.5" at 30 years of age, and because I learned to golf at a young age, I was able to maximize my distance off the tee. I credit these smaller guys for getting so much out of the golf swing, and naturally root for them. I also believe that too much muscle development is not good long term for golfers. Fitness is a must, but endurance does not flow from overly muscular development. If you look at Dustin Johnson, he is an athlete, but his physique is long and lean, not bulky muscular like Tiger. These more slender golfers tend to have fewer injuries.

Ive seen him up close several times at tournaments. He is absolutely no taller than 6'1.

Phil has an everyman type body (schlubby lol) that can make him appear shorter. He is pretty tall a good couple inches on someone like Tiger Woods.

Is he really over 6 ft 2? Must admit I watched him a year back and I was struggling to even see 6'2! Perhaps because he's a brad framed guy doesn't look as tall as he really is?

Editor Rob I believe 10 years ago he could look a good 6ft 2 range, but 6ft 3 I can't see...
there may be a little truth to doing stretches and measuring taller, but it also could be simply earlier measurement.

Heights are barefeet estimates, derived from quotations, official websites, agency resumes, in person encounters with actors at conventions and pictures/films.
