But that wasn’t why he was being talked about so fervently. At the Champions Dinner, it was his choice of attire that grabbed the attention of fans.

Phil Mickelson and his photo receives stern reactions from fans
Recently, Dan Rapaport, a golf writer for Barstool Sports, shared a photo of Phil Mickelson with Collin Morikawa on his official Twitter account. The caption read: “Phil looks like the guy at LaGuardia trying to convince Collin to hop in his “uber” back to the city for only $50 cash.”
Phil looks like the guy at LaGuardia trying to convince Collin to hop in his “uber” back to the city for only $50 cash.
With this tweet, fans started to notice Mickelson’s suit for the event. And they had some witty remarks to make:
Phil lost 25 pounds but nobody told his tailor.
He looks like Eric Estrada in CHIPS FROM 1970s.
Tough look for Phil. Someone get this guy a tailored suit
He can't afford a suit that fits?
Phil looks like the brother no one has seen in years because he’s working odd jobs down in the Keys but came back for your uncles funeral and had to borrow one of dads suits. He’s also self medicating to get through the day of dealing with family.
One user even commented on Mickelson’s health:
All in all, people weren’t on board with his misfit suit, and came down on him hard.
Mickelson’s road to redemption
Following the start of the PGA Championship in Oak Hills, the oldest major champion, Phil Mickelson, is one of the most well-known players whose performance everyone is anticipating. Mickelson defeated Brooks Koepka two years ago to win his sixth major. But after switching to LIV Golf the previous year, Lefty stopped defending any championships that year. Thanks to the LIV golfers being allowed to play the majors, the three-time Masters champion is back to take another shot at the title.

This year, Mickelson made birdies with ease at the Masters in Augusta. He birdied the par-3 12th, the par-5 13th and 15th, and the par-4 17 and 18. In his 18 holes, he made eight birdies. He gave the lowest final-round rating ever, and, as a result, he became the oldest golfer to accomplish this milestone with his final round of 65. Raymond Floyd previously held this record in 1992, when he became the oldest to finish second at the Masters. Lefty’s remarkable game earned him the second spot, tied with Koepka.
