Phil Mickelson is currently one of the most controversial players in the golf community. The six-time major winner has tons of records under his name. Mickelson is a former PGA Tour player who recently started playing in the LIV Golf Invitational Series.

Like Phil Mickelson, many other players also joined the Saudi-backed league, leaving their PGA careers behind. Some players called it a business decision, while others said they wanted to play less golf. However, “Lefty” was one of the initial players to join the LIV Tour. The golfer’s shots have been getting fan reactions all over the internet.

Mickelson’s game in round two of the LIV Series is currently buzzing on Twitter. But is it his game that the fans want to talk about or is it something else?
