This is brutal loss since he is a world class golfer that won many championship in the past. He loss all his savings that he earn on his career and I think the pain will not gonna easily go even with therapy during that times. I suffer too a massive loss in the past and I’m still remembering it until now. I don't watch the full video of his statement but I’m sure he is ok now since he is sharing now his depressing life experiences.
Losing 100$ is already painful so I really feel the pain on this kind of video.

It must be hard to cure such gambling addiction since he make a living out of golf sport, he is expose to this sport all his life. The only way I guess is to retire and if he still gambles after that, its really getting worse.
He has already knows that he is making nothing from gambling than losses, he should know already that he should stop, he has money and he suppose not to take gambling as a means to earn that has resulted to loss for him. He can be the best therapy of himself, he should just quit for like a year or two or even more and never gamble. If he wants to still gamble and see it as fun, he can later gamble with the money he can afford to lose, dividing it into the amounts that will be suitable for him and to the periods of time he wants to use it for gambling. I am always not happy to see some people getting addicted when it supposed not to be, gambling nis not and has never been a means of earning, but should just be taken as fun and nothing more. legendary

Oh my goodness! With that kind of money, many families can live with a high quality of life without having to work.
I think that type of personality is hooked on the adrenaline rush that sport gives him, and finds something similar in gambling.
The only good thing is that it seems that the therapy worked for him and he quit gambling, otherwise he would probably be bankrupt today despite having earned so much money.

One more worst example that we can use as a real example of gambling made him sink and lose a lot of money and undergo therapy sessions to get rid of his addiction. The more we chase our losses in gambling, the more we will actually lose money and if we don't wake up quickly from what we are doing, we could end up with him and it could even get worse. There are indeed some people who can win a lot of money from gambling, but that is rare and can be counted on the fingers and those are the people who are really lucky in gambling. We should not try to follow them because our luck will not be like theirs.

“Gambling has been part of my life ever since I can remember. But about a decade ago is when I would say it became reckless. It’s embarrassing. I don’t like that people know.”
Another biggest loser in gambling is on the list adding to the competitive personalities they have in sports. He had been gaming since 2010-2014. Five years of gambling, yet he didn't realized he is not that good like his prime, he must be chasing his loss like everyone who in the process resulted to more loss. Mickelson suffer over $56 million in gambling loss and also spend hours for his therapy. When a guy already enroll himself in a therapy, you can tell its already bad.
When you are the ones playing your sports, you'll trust on your skills which is why he bet so much too. I guess this is also what happened to the NBA stars who fell in same loss. It must be hard to cure such gambling addiction since he make a living out of golf sport, he is expose to this sport all his life. The only way I guess is to retire and if he still gambles after that, its really getting worse.
