Phil Mickelson refuses to identify Tiger Woods in the viral Twitter photograph

Golf insiders on Caddie Network recently posted a picture of young Tiger Woods standing next to a smiling old man. The page asked golf fans to guess who was in the picture hanging at Torrey Pines in the coastal San Diego clubhouse. The picture showed a kid in a yellow T-shirt with ‘Tiger’ written on it in bold. He can be seen holding a trophy seemingly heavy for him to hold with ‘Champion’ written on it.

However, when asked to guess who they were, Mickelson chose to play cocky with his response on the picture. Here is what he wrote: “No idea the guy on the right. The guy on the left is “Brownie”. I believe John Brown but only ever called him Brownie. He was the godfather of San Diego junior golf and one of the kindest souls who has ever lived.”
