Let’s hope the Phil haters have a great week moaning and complaining 👍

All I have to say is if Phil doesn’t plan to play them please withdraw now so someone else can have a chance and prepare appropriately…please Phil. Do the right thing for once.
— Frank Imschweiler (@fimschweiler) May 9, 2022

Meanwhile, the golf analyst Amanda Rose had a different take on the news.
Phil Mickelson (still) being in the field for PGA Champ is a great opportunity for Scottie Scheffler to win a 2nd major in a row.
Like The Masters, he can fly under radar. All of the focus won’t be on Scottie. He can go to Chipotle in peace and focus on winning.
— Amanda Rose (@AmandaGolf59) May 9, 2022
The post also received much engagement from golf fans. Some had supported her viewpoint, Meanwhile, some didn’t. Notably, Scheffler had revealed his way of ordering from the fast-food restaurant Chipotle. The reason why she had referred to it in her post.
Tbf going to Chipotle in peace is still the best part of that statement and there was some steep competition
— Siobhan (@SiobhanPycroft) May 9, 2022
Scottie’s had an unbelievable 3 month run. The regression starts now
— Tony Darby (@TonyDarby88) May 9, 2022
I saw Scottie on 8 at Augusta on Saturday. Up by like 5. Nobody was around. Like…I walked right up and watched him hit out of the bunker. He flys under the radar all the time.
— Xander Walsh, PGA (@XanderWalshPGA) May 9, 2022
Scottie can't ever go to Chipotle in peace again.
— CDM (@ticketdemain) May 10, 2022
I think we are seeing the greatest golfer in this decade in Scheffler and he is not attracting a lot of attention.
