Phil Mickelson is going through a bad phase. With one problem after another, they just do not seem to go away. Last week he failed to make the cut at the US Open despite being confident. Also, he skipped the practice session to avoid speaking about the merger. And this week he has been hit with another avalanche.
Phil Mickelson and fellow LIV golfer Pat Perez, have been sharing bad blood in the last few years and for some very nasty reason which has recently surfaced. And after the news became viral Twitter fans are not happy about being hit with an incident that took place 8 years ago.

In the New York Post on Monday, some very shocking details about what caused the trouble have been revisited. Last year in his biography reporter and writer Alan Shipnuck, narrated the incident. According to the book the incident that ignited the fire took place in 2015 when Mickelson invited Perez and his wife Ashley Perez, to dinner in New Jersey during the 2015 Barclays Tournament. During the dinner as Perez went to the washroom, Phil showed Ashley a “photograph of himself that she found offensive“. Phil has not made any comment on the subject.

During his appearance at the Son of a Butch podcast, Perez expressed his sentiments towards Mickelson without directly addressing the issue – “When it comes to Phil, I have a different hate for Phil than most people. Phil crossed the line with me that is just uncrossable and unforgivable. He knows that he screwed up. He apologized for the action, but I cannot forgive him for it because I’ve known Phil for a long, long time.”
Twitter is dumb-founded and confused over the news
The news was shared by Fox News on Twitter and Twitteratis are expressing their displeasure over reviving a matter that is 8 years old.
This fan is full of sarcasm:

And another sarcastic comment
I think 8 years for this to surface is way too early. Should have waited at least 15, while everything is still fresh in their minds.
