Phil Mickelson has been criticized by his fans online for his funny dance moves, as seen in a video from Nashville.
Mickelson and his HyFlyers team traveled south ahead of a LIV golf tournament at The Grove this weekend.
And the 54-year-old embraced the city’s music culture when he was seen busting some moves ahead of the tournament.
In the clip, which has been viewed more than 176,000 times on the HyFlyers X AccountMickelson can be seen line dancing while wearing a black cowboy hat and bandanna.
And fans were quick to mock the six-time Major winner after the clip was posted.

Golfer Mickelson, who wore a black cowboy hat for the tee, was mocked by fans afterward
‘I can’t stop looking. So scary. But very good,” said one.
‘What did I just watch. “My God, what money does to people,” another said of Mickelson, who received a $200 million signing fee upon joining the Saudi-backed LIV.
Another joked: “PGA players never could.”
And another X user imagined a funny scenario around the video.
“Imagine arriving at a bar absolutely exhausted and seeing Phil Mickelson dancing in a cowboy hat.”
Mickelson finished the second day of the US Open 20 shots off the lead at Pinehurst.
Mickelson’s dance outing comes after he missed the cut at last weekend’s US Open.
The cut at Pinehurst was +5, and Mickelson was nowhere near moving on with a mark of +15 after two rounds.
Mickelson’s HyFlyers are also struggling this season, as they sit 11th out of 13 teams in the LIV standings.
His last major victory came at the 2021 PGA Championship, when he became the oldest major champion at 50 years and 11 months.
