American golfer Phil Mickelson has shown off his dad like dance moves in a new commercial for a clothing company.

In the advert for Mizzen + Main, Mickelson is seen performing some dad dancing, dodging/kicking away golf balls and doing the worm.

The left-hander said it only took an hour to film.

"They showed some of the videos like they had done like with Tim Tebow and J.J. Watt and they said, 'We have this idea about dancing,' " Mickelson told reporters.

"Obviously, it's not the thing I'm most comfortable doing. But then [my wife] Amy said, 'You should just tell them that you know how to do the worm.' So after she said that, it was over, we were doing it.

"I think it's fun to laugh at yourself and certainly that's what I'm doing in this commercial, because it was a lot of work just to get those moves out of me.

"I could've said no, but what's the point of that? When you have these moves, you have to show them off."

For a guy who's banked NZ$129 million in career earnings, makes you think how much he pocketed to embarrass himself on national television.
