Phil Mickelson Loses It! Locker Room Drama Over Outfit Remarks

Описание: Phil Mickelson once had a heated confrontation with fellow golfer Vijay Singh at The Masters in 2005 over a dispute regarding spikes on Mickelson’s shoes. At that time, tensions among top golfers like Mickelson, Singh, Tiger Woods, and Ernie Els were high, and Singh, then ranked No. 1 on the PGA Tour, wasn’t afraid to get under his rivals' skin.

The incident began on the 12th hole at Augusta National, where Singh reportedly called over an official to complain that Mickelson's new 8mm spikes were damaging the greens. Despite an official’s suggestion to file down the spikes, they were ultimately deemed acceptable. Mickelson later expressed frustration that Singh hadn’t handled the complaint more discreetly, perhaps at the end of the round instead.

Afterward, Mickelson overheard Singh discussing the incident with other players in the locker room, prompting him to confront his rival. Although Mickelson’s public account was tempered, sources close to the incident claim he was far more forceful, reportedly cursing at Singh and challenging him to settle matters outside.

The story was corroborated by Tiger Woods’ former caddie, Steve Williams, who recalled a “heated” locker room exchange on the Chasing Majors podcast, describing the rivalry as intense.
