So consistent on the money list, Phil Mickelson has been a dominant figure near the top of golf's money list, finishing second or third seven times, including six of the last eight seasons. So it's no wonder that Barclays, one of the world's leading financial institutions, has decided to sponsor him. "I'm proud to continue my personal and professional relationship with Barclays by becoming a part of its effort to support golf around the world," said Mickelson, who is also a Barclays Wealth client. "Barclays' standards in golf are as high as those in its businesses and the firm is clearly a worldwide leader in both areas." Robert E. Diamond Jr., president of Barclays PLC, said, "I am delighted to welcome Phil Mickelson to the Barclays team. Phil is a great ambassador and role model for the game of golf. He is a winner who personifies the game's values of integrity, focus and precision, which are at the core of how we at Barclays are committed to earning success every day for our clients. We look forward to working with Phil as we expand and strengthen the Barclays brand around the world." In addition to his consistent performance on the money list, Mickelson has enjoyed 32 career victories since making his professional debut at the 1992 U.S. Open. He has finished in the top 10 at eight of the last nine Masters Tournaments, including wins in 2004 and 2006, and he won the 2005 PGA Championship. A member of the last six Ryder Cup teams, he is the only U.S. player to appear in all seven Presidents Cups. So watch for the Barclays logo on Phil Mickelson's shirt as you follow him through the PGA Tour this season. It's a place we're proud to be.
