Phil Mickelson has wagered more than $1 billion over the last three decades and wanted to place a $400,000 bet on the 2012 Ryder Cup while playing for Team USA, according to a much-anticipated book by renowned gambler Billy Walters.
The stunning betting estimates Walters provides — from his own detailed record from what he describes as two reliable sources — are detailed in an excerpt of Walters' book, "Gambler: Secrets from a Life of Risk.”
It is schedule to be available Aug. 22. The FirePit Collective obtained an except of the book. Mickelson's management group did not immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment.
