Apparently, Woller gave a word to his friends that he’d get a silhouette of Mickelson inked on his body if the veteran golfer won the second major of the year. To his surprise, it came true and Woller stuck to his promise. 

“@PhilMickelson I told my buddies I would get Phil’s logo tattooed on my left calf if he won the PGA Championship. I fully expect my golf game to dramatically improve as I harness the power of 1,000 Phil’s,” Woller wrote on Twitter showing off the tattoo on his left calf.
