During a Twitter reply spree on February 2, Phil Mickelson was responding to users and their opinions on a fan-proposed match between players from the PGA and LIV golf tours, including Mickelson and fellow champion Tiger Woods. “It sounds great, but we would dominate them so soundly and it would be over so quick that tv would have to fill an hour of dead time,” the golfer responded to the challenge in joking confidence.
One Twitter user decided to jump in to criticize the pro golfer. “You an a**! I hope you get booed off the playing grounds. Boos are free!” When Mickelson saw the user’s profile picture — which featured a man with no hair — he took the hit-em-where-it-hurts route. “I see your sense of humor lived in your hair,” Mickelson heckled back.

He even got into more online trouble when he made comments online about another golfer’s choice of clothing, per the Daily Mail. According to Sports Illustrated, Mickelson did not make the par cut-off during a LIV Golf tournament on February 3.
