It is hard not to mention Josh Allen in the golf world without naming the 51-year-old golfer these days. The reason for that is Allen himself. He dressed up as Mickelson for Halloween last year!

I find this new version of Josh Allen so seductive and yet I can’t quite put my finger on what exactly it is 🤔

Not only did he dress up as the golfer, but Allen was spot on with imitating the gestures of Mickelson. The Buffalo Bill‘s quarterback even showed off his claves, which Phil takes pride in.

Phil Mickelson reacted to Josh Allen’s golf swing!
Josh Allen will be playing golf at the 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Prior to the tournament, the PGA Tour shared a video on Twitter of the quarterback practicing his golf swings. Since the two shares history, Golf.com asked Mickelson whether he liked Allen’s look on Twitter.
From dressing up as Lefty for Halloween to teeing it up at Pebble Beach.

Since he is one of the most active professional golfers on Twitter, Mickelson didn’t waste time and replied to the post instantly:
The man hits 💣’s
Nothing else needs to be said😎

From his comment, it is evident that the golf legend approves of Allen’s skill in golf. Phil’s comment implied that the quarterback could cover much distance with his shot. Since he is a quarterback, Allen’s body mass is much different from that of a professional golfer.
Fan’s reaction to Mickelson’s comment
Although the quarterback has yet to comment on Phil’s reply, many fans have been sharing their thoughts. Most of them were funny as they asked what Phil thought of Allen’s calves.
How are his calves though

One of the fans asked the golfer whether he can ask the PGA to let Josh use a longer driver.
Hey Phil, looks like Josh needs a longer driver shaft to conform to his body type. Any chance you can get the @PGATOUR to bend the rules and let Josh use a longer shaft just this once to be inclusive?

Since Mickelson wouldn’t be playing at the Pro-Am, many wondered when the real Mickelson and the “fake” can play golf together.
Wish you were there Lefty. You two playing together would’ve been epic.
I’m beginning to wonder if there’s anything Josh CAN’T do well?
