Phil Mickelson is mocked by fans for his dance moves in Nashville
Phil Mickelson has been ripped by fans online for his hilarious dance moves, as seen in a video from Nashville.
Mickelson and his HyFlyers team have traveled down south ahead of a LIV Golf tournament at The Grove this weekend.
And the 54-year-old embraced the city’s music culture as he was spotted busting out some moves ahead of the tournament.
In the clip, which has been viewed more than 176,000 times on the HyFlyers X account, Mickelson can be seen line dancing as he wears a black cowboy hat and bandana.
And fans were quick to mock the six-time major winner after the clip was posted.
‘I cant stop watching. So awful. Yet so good,’ one said.
‘What did I just watch. Good lord what money does to people,’ another said of Mickelson, who received a reported $200million signing fee upon joining the Saudi-backed LIV.
Another joked, ‘PGA players could never.’
And a different X user imagined a hilarious scenario around the video.
‘Imagine showing up to a bar absolutely hammered and seeing Phil Mickelson dancing in a cowboy hat.’
Mickelson’s dance outing comes after he missed the cut at last weekend’s US Open.
The cut at Pinehurst was +5, and Mickelson was nowhere close to moving on with a +15 mark after two rounds.
Mickelson’s HyFlyers are also struggling this season, as they’re 11th of 13 teams in the LIV standings.
His last major win came at the 2021 PGA Championship, as he became the oldest-ever major champ at 50 years and 11 months.
