Masters Fans Were Mistakenly Convinced Phil Mickelson’s Playing Partner Was Trolling Him With Round 2 Shirt Choice

There were lots of jokes.

The second round of the Masters is under way Friday morning at Augusta National and with lots of bad weather looming, we have to be thankful that some golf is being played.

Phil Mickelson, a three-time winner of this event, is in one of the early groups out on the course. Mickelson, of course, left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf in a move that tore the golf world apart and put a severe dent in his legacy. 

Mickelson’s group in the first two rounds includes Si Woo Kim, who has a sponsorship deal with PGA Tour Golfwear. That deal has him wearing a shirt on Friday that has the words “PGA Tour” all over it, which had fans cracking up and thinking he was trolling Mickelson over the LIV Golf-PGA Tour rivalry.

He has worn shirts like that before, so it probably wasn’t meant to take a shot at Mickelson. 

Still, golf fans loved it:
