Short answer: Phil Mickelson was 33 years old when he won the Masters in 2004.
Context and details:
- Mickelson’s Masters victory came in April 2004. He was born June 16, 1970, which means he was just shy of his 34th birthday—age 33 at the time of the win .
- This is widely reported as his first major championship, achieved at Augusta National in 2004 .
- For broader perspective, Mickelson later won another major (the PGA Championship) in 2021 at age 50, becoming the oldest major winner in history at that time .
If you’d like, I can pull the exact date of the 2004 Masters final round and show the age calculation step by step.
