After the official tweet and revelation by the PGA Tour on Twitter, Justin Thomas is trending. And fans have bizarre reactions to his new look. Let’s dig deeper and find the reason for the infamous trend.
Is this Phil Mickelson?
Who hasn’t heard about the Jimmy Fallon show? And being on that show is always fun and glee. That fun for the PGA Tour members turned out to be a bad comparison with Phil Mickelson.

The tweet had an image of Justin in a new look that resembled Mickelson. He was wearing a black leather jacket, which was the talk of the town because it was the same as Mickelson’s famous black leather jacket. The fans stormed the comment section and revealed their honest thoughts about the uncanny similarities.
Justin Thomas is a wannabe!
Fans trolled Justin since they did not approve of his new appearance. They claimed that Justin’s black leather jacket made him look like Mickelson. In fact, some fans advised the PGA Tour player to fire his stylist after the new appearance was not well received by the public. Fans did not like Justin because he appeared to be an imitator of Mickelson, and that made them feel disrespectful. People were upset to see him dressed in a silly way because they were used to seeing him normally on the golf course.
Other than Mickelson, Adam Levine of Maroon 5 from 2012 was also compared to the major championship winner. Fans believed Justin wasn’t looking his best and that he could seem more like himself, as they could only picture Mickelson wearing a black leather jacket.
He needs to fire his stylist. Lol looking like a wannabe Phil 😂😂

Why can’t golfers just dress normal when they’re not golfing? They dress all goofy.
