"He’s always been jealous of Tiger Woods" - Golf fans react to Phil Mickelson's most recent 'liked' picture

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are considered two of the greatest golfers ever. The two Californian golfers were often involved in close matches on the PGA Tour during their career.

While Woods has remained loyal to the American golf tour, Mickelson has moved to the newly found LIV Golf league. That has halted their on-course rivalry.

Recently, NUCLR GOLF, one of the top golf update pages on social media, shared a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). It had a screenshot that showed Phil Mickelson's recently liked post on X, which was seemingly trolling the legendary Tiger Woods.

Several fans reacted to that, with one claiming that Mickelson is "jealous" of Woods.

"He’s always been jealous of Tiger," they wrote.

A fan defended Mickelson, saying it was not his recently liked post.

There was a user who said that the reference to Lance Armstrong was related to drugs and added that the post that Mickelson liked was suggesting Tiger Woods had taken drugs.

Multiple comments from fans expressed disappointment with Phil Mickelson. Here are some top comments:

Fans were confused about whether Phil Mickelson liked that post. However, upon checking his X account, it has come out that the six-time major champion has truly liked that particular post.

"The best scenario would be a tournament a month" - Tiger Woods on his future plans after comeback at the 2023 Hero World Challenge

After a recurring ankle injury that forced him to withdraw from the 2023 Masters Tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club earlier this April, the 15-time Major champion has returned to golf. He is currently playing the ongoing 2023 Hero World Challenge.

Tiger Woods has completed the first three rounds at the Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas. He has shot 75-70-71 in the first three rounds. He is currently on T16 on the leaderboard.

Before the 2023 Hero World Challenge, Woods spoke with reporters and shared his thoughts on making a comeback. As quoted by the Mirror, he said:

"The best scenario would be a tournament a month. I think that's realistic. My game feels rusty. I haven't played in a while … I'm just as curious as all of you as to what's going to happen."

Tiger Woods added that he does not have any of the pain that he had at the 2023 Masters. He also said the subtalar fusion procedure was a success.

"I don't have any of the pain that I had at Augusta in my ankle … that surgery was a success. My knee hurts, my back, the forces move to somewhere else. The procedures I've had done post-last couple of years, I've had a number of them," Woods said.

After the 2023 Hero World Challenge, Tiger Woods would be seen playing at the 2023 PNC Championship. He will partner with his son Charlie Woods at the father-son duo competition.
