“Good lord that’s just awkward” – Fans react to Phil Mickelson's LIV Golf team HyFlyers GC welcoming its newest member Andy Ogletree

Phil Mickelson has signed Andy Ogletree for the HyFlyers GC, making him the fourth member of the LIV Golf team's roster. He will replace James Piot, who was relegated from the league after finishing 47th this season.

Ogletree was also part of the Saudi-backed circuit this season but wasn't part of any squad. He played as a replacement in three events and finished 43rd in the season standings. The American mostly appeared in the International Series, backed by the PIF.

Besides Mickelson and Ogletree, HyFlyers boast Cameron Tringale and Brendan Steele in their squad. On Monday, December 18, HyFlyers shared a clip where Mickelson, Tringale and Steele welcomed the latest entrant to the team.

Ogletree's announcement received hilarious responses from fans on social media. Many fans found the video cringe-worthy and embarrassing.

Here's a look at some of the responses on X:

"Good lord that’s just awkward," one fan wrote.
"Damn not Any Ogletree!" another commented.
"The with one of the most famous golfers in the world still have only 6k followers. This team concept is really taking off," a fan said.
