Well, yesterday Phil decided he was going to slide into some mentions and just like everything else he does on Twitter, it was glorious.

He started off by firing off at this seemingly innocent tweet sent out by Golf Channel’s Will Gray:

It didn’t stop there though. Next up was fellow Tour pro Luke Donald:

As you can imagine, following those two tweets Golf Twitter blew up. Phil continued to have fun with it all:

I have said this many times, and I will say it once again. Never change Phil!
