Golf fans are convinced Si Woo Kim was trolling Phil Mickelson, LIV Golfers with his Friday Masters outfit

Is Si Woo Kim throwing shade at Phil Mickelson and LIV Golfers on Friday at Augusta National? Or is PGA golfer just staying true to his fashion sense at the 2023 Masters?

Golf fans seem convinced of the former, even if it’s way more likely the latter is true.

Masters Leaderboard: Live leaderboard, Schedule, Tee times

Kim, who has been known to break out polos and sweaters with the PGA Tour logo emblazoned all over them did just that on Friday. But considering he was paired up with LIV Golf’s Phil Mickelson, golf fans think he might’ve been trying to troll his playing partner.

Under the terms of LIV contracts, players on the Saudi-backed circuit must wear LIV apparel at any tournament they enter. That holds true for the Masters. We saw Jason Kokrak break out a funky LIV shirt on Thursday among a handful of others.

Mickelson himself is wearing a shirt and hat with the logo of his LIV Golf team while Kim is wearing, well, this:
