by A day after Viktor Hovland’s Azela polo shirt grabbed headlines in the first round of the Masters Tournament, another golf shirt caught the eye.
Shortly after the second round of action began at Augusta National, Phil Mickelson’s playing partner Si Woo Kim was seen wearing a polo shirt emblazoned with the words “PGA Tour.”
Kim’s fashion choice is notable given that Mickelson, a three-time Masters champion, defected to the rival LIV circuit in 2022.
