Although having a social media presence nowadays makes you more important, not everyone requires it. Some sportsmen have a reputation that precedes them. To them, social media isn’t a platform to showcase themselves because they don’t need to. The golf legend, Phil Mickelson, is one of those sportsmen. Lefty is not as socially active as other golfers, so when he does post as he did recently about the upcoming Masters, he has everyone’s attention.

The golf legend has spent the majority of last year in the media spotlight due to his move to LIV Golf. He defected earlier this year, in June, and has since led the LIV’s fight against the PGA Tour.
