The LIV Golf’s Draft night was held last night, but despite the exciting teams and anticipation of high-quality golf, fans seem to have distracted themselves with something else. It was none other than the 6-times Major Champion Phil Mickelson who caught everyone’s attention with a comical photo.

Mickelson announced on June 6th that he will take part in the inaugural LIV Golf Event. Greg Norman later revealed that he will also captain one of the teams in the tournament.

The LIV Golf draft night was held in London last night, during which the 12 teams for the Tour were revealed. But despite such exciting news, the fans were focused on the eye-catching photo of Mickelson.
