Embarrassing Phil Mickelson Video Explodes on Social Media

Phil Mickelson may be 54 years old, but he moves as if he’s just turned 51. The LIV golfer, along with some other HyFlyers, recently took a break from the green to embrace the Nashville vibe in a way that only Mickelson can. After finishing their rounds, they metaphorically threw on their cowboy boots and hit the dance floor. Mickelson himself seemed particularly enthusiastic, hopefully still sporting his black cowboy hat and bandana. Perhaps he’s just reinforcing LIV Golf’s claim that the fledgling league is “Golf but louder.” Either way, we’re glad the HyFlyers dropped the video and that Mickelson dropped it low.

In a viral video that’s making the rounds, Phil Mickelson and his fellow HyFlyers—Andy Ogletree, Cameron Tringale, and more—are seen “kicking up dust in Nashville.” The group’s spirited attempt at line dancing caught many by surprise, showing a lighter, more playful side of the usually stoic golfers. The background music? After a bit of Shazamming, it was identified as “The Fireman” by George Strait, featuring the memorable line, “Hey well, everybody’d like to have what I’ve got/I can cool ’em down when they’re smolderin’ hot.”

The reactions to the video have been mixed. Some fans appreciated Mickelson’s effort to try something new and fun ahead of the LIV Nashville event. One enthusiastic commenter even suggested that there should be a PGA Tour Champions equivalent for line dancing, imagining Mickelson high-stepping it over and over in the future. On the other hand, not everyone was impressed. One viewer humorously asked, “How do I unwatch this??”

Despite the varied reactions, one thing is clear: Phil Mickelson and the HyFlyers are enjoying the Nashville vibe. Mickelson himself expressed his fondness for the experience, hopefully still decked out in his cowboy attire. His embrace of the city’s culture might just be a nod to the louder, more vibrant image that LIV Golf is trying to project.

Whether you loved it or hated it, this video is bound to be stuck in your head. Every time you close your eyes, you might just see Mickelson and his crew, boots and all, dancing away. So, here’s to more unexpected moments and memorable performances from Lefty and the HyFlyers.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for more antics from Mickelson and the gang as they continue to bring a new flavor to the golfing world. Golf but louder, indeed.
