Phil Mickelson, the American golfer, recently made a surprising fashion statement at The Open Championship by sporting joggers. This unexpected choice was not entirely his decision, as Mickelson had lost a bet with YouTube golfer Grant Horvat. According to the terms of the bet, Mickelson had to wear joggers at The Open if Horvat won their match. On the other hand, Horvat would have to buy a one-year supply of coffee for a fan if Mickelson emerged victorious.
The match between Mickelson and Horvat took place at a golf course in Rancho Santa Fe, California, with Horvat starting with a five-shot advantage. Despite the loss, Mickelson took the defeat in good spirits and even posted on social media about his newfound fashion sense. He humorously admitted that he never thought he could pull off wearing joggers at the age of 54 but was proven wrong.
Horvat is known for his YouTube-style matches against professional golfers, having also competed against Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia in the past. This year’s Open Championship is set to begin on Thursday, and golf fans will be eager to see how Mickelson performs on the course. Stay tuned for more updates on sports news from Fox News Digital.
