A lot of his golfer and friends reacted to this new development. However, Mickelson took it up a notch. He took a friendly jibe at him and wrote, “As I’m hanging in Montana, it’s great to see Tiger swinging a golf club again. I know he can’t stand me holding a single record so I’m guessing HE wants to be the oldest to ever win a major. I’ll just say this. BRING IT!”

Now, if you didn’t know, Mickelson won the 2021 PGA Championship. With this, he became the oldest major winner in history at 50 years and 11 months. He jokes that Tiger will come after this record since it’s one that Mickelson has, not him.
However, Tina, his sister, reminded him with a reply that Woods had five years before he takes a shot at it, and tells him to ‘calm down’.
