‘Calm Down’: Twitter Exchange Once Witnessed Phil Mickelson Getting Roasted by His Sister on Tiger Woods Clip

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have been close competitors at the highest level for more than two decades now. The pair share a healthy rivalry that has elevated each’s game. But with Mickelson already over 50 and playing at the LIV Golf Series, their competitiveness seems to be slowing. But the fire is yet to be extinguished, which was evident in a Twitter exchange between Woods and Mickelson last year. It also included a comment from the latter’s sister, who poked fun at the 52-year-old.

Phil Mickelson tweets on Tiger Woods’ clip

For the majority of 2021, Woods was making the rounds of the physio room after severely injuring his leg in a car crash. It kept him out for quite a while, with the condition affecting his gameplay significantly.

Nevertheless, in November last year, the 15-time major championship winner posted a brief clip that served as major progress to Woods’ return to golf. In the video, he was seen hitting a few golf balls as he made his way back to the game. The tweet garnered a lot of attention, amassing around 200k likes.

The tweet got many people talking, including Phil Mickelson. The 6-time major championship winner made the news last year after winning the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island. His achievement created a new record in the history books, with Mickelson becoming the oldest major championship winner at 50.

Upon seeing Woods’ practice, Mickelson believed that his close competitor was on a mission. In a tweet that ignited the rivalry, ‘Lefty’ claimed that Woods couldn’t stand his rival holding a record. “I know he can’t stand me holding a single record so I’m guessing HE wants to be the oldest to ever win a major,” Mickelson said in his tweet.

While Woods steered clear from making a response to the comment, Mickelson’s sister, Tina, couldn’t hold herself back. She amusingly informed her brother that Woods was younger than him and had plenty of time before breaking that record.

Woods and Mickelson share an age gap of five years, with the former born in 1970. While the latter broke the record after his 50th birthday, Woods is yet to hit the landmark, having only turned 47 at the end of December 2022. Do you think Woods can indeed break Mickelson’s elusive record? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
