Golf legend Phil Mickelson spoke out about the price of gas in California, while praising California GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton<\/a> for his plan to produce gas right in the state to reduce prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mickelson’s opinions<\/a> were shared in a series of social media posts on Wednesday. \u00a0<\/p>\n

In one post, the golfer re-shared a photo showing prices at a gas station in California exceeding $5 per gallon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is sad and going to get worse,” Mickelson wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a subsequent post, Mickelson re-shared an interview of Hilton on the Fox Business Network’s “The Bottom Line,” where the candidate shared his support for the White House’s plan to carry out off-shore oil drilling off the coast of California. Hilton said his plan and goal is to bring gas prices down to $3 per gallon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Finally, someone speaking common sense,” Mickelson wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, an analysis by University of Southern California professor Michael Mische suggested Californians could end up paying as much as $8.43 per gallon of gas next year as two refineries in the state have plans to shutter.<\/p>\n

“Any disruptions to oil and foreign gasoline supplies will exacerbate California\u2019s gasoline dilemma and drive-up prices. Any disruptions to maritime markets, routes, ports, operations, etc., will have a significant effect on California gasoline security and consumer prices, as well as prices in Nevada and Arizona,” Mische wrote in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Valero Energy Corp. announced that it will likely close its Benicia refinery near San Francisco<\/u><\/a> in April 2026, putting more than 400 jobs in jeopardy and potentially raising prices even more.<\/p>\n

Hilton, who is a top GOP contender for the governorship in 2026, has made addressing gas prices a key promise of his campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Despite our state’s plentiful oil reserves, Californians are forced by Democrat ‘climate’ policies to pay the nation\u2019s highest gas prices (now around $5.00 per gallon), surpassing even Hawaii<\/u><\/a>, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean,” Hilton wrote in a Fox News Digital op-ed in June.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“California\u2019s sky-high gas prices are the direct result of 15 years of one-party Democratic rule. Gavin Newsom, former Vice President Kamala Harris<\/u><\/a> and every other leading Democrat in the state have been cheerleaders for this \u2018war on fossil fuels,\u2019 endlessly bragging about “leading the world” on climate change.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mickelson has been active on social media this year in bringing awareness to various socio-political issues caused by leftist policies and lawmakers, while praising conservatives like President Donald Trump, the late Charlie Kirk and now Hilton.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mickelson is a former California resident who was born in San Diego, but famously moved to Florida to avoid paying California’s high taxes.<\/p>\n
