“Back during Covid break, I did this Carac cream, which is like skin cancer chemotherapy treatment on your face for like two weeks,” Phil was quoted by the Golf. “You skin blotches up, and you kill these cancer cells that you can’t see. And when I went outside, I had to wear some protection. So I wore these glasses to kind of protect the area around my eyes.”

“They didn’t move around on my face when I was swinging,” he added. “I went out and played with them, and I thought, ‘Oh, I’ll give it a try.’ So that’s kind of where it started. And then my eyes were much more relaxed at the end of the day — they weren’t squinting the whole time.”
