Phil Mickelson is one of the most controversial players of all time. Things escalated after he decided to join the LIV Golf series and ended his career with the PGA Tour. Mickelson lost a lot of fans when he decided to join the Saudi-bake league. Moreover, his public image got a few spots back when he made some unexpected statements about the PGA Tour.

However, the reason for being on the news was a little different this time for Mickelson, as a spectator decided to yell at him during his back swing. And not just that, he also brought his actions to social media by sharing his video from the event.
Heckler shares his video on Twitter messing with Phil Mickelson
Lefty was already struggling to play well at the LIV Golf event at Donald Trump’s Bedminster Golf Club when a man from the audience decided to distract him during his back swing by calling him out. But what made the heckling different this time was that the heckler himself made a video of what he was about to do, and later went on to post it on Twitter.

The person who tried to mess with Mickelson belongs to a Duo called ‘The Good Liars’ on Twitter. Jason Selvig and Davram are the ones behind the rather funny viral video. It was captioned, “We gave Phil Mickelson some words of encouragement during his backswing at Trump’s golf course yesterday.”

The man in the video calls out Mickelson and says, “Hey Phil! Give us a wave, let’s go!” To his surprise, Mickelson turns towards him and nods his head up and down a little in acknowledgment. It was all good until the same man tried to taunt Mickelson exactly during his back swing in the last hour. “Do it for the Saudi Royal Family” he said, resulting in Mickelson walking away from the ball and practicing his swing. The security officials soon warned the man asking him not to repeat his mistake or they would “escort” him out.
