Phil Mickelson fired the first shot in the trash-talking battle between he and Tiger Woods, in advance of their $9 million match.
It wasn’t so much a shot at Woods, though, as it was at whomever created the promotional poster.
@TigerWoods I see you have a left-handed driver, well played. I hope it’s a Callaway pic.twitter.com/qWuXsGVC6z

Yes, if you look carefully you’ll notice that Tiger’s driver is of the left-handed variety. It is still, however, a TaylorMade.
Woods and Mickelson are two of the best smack talkers on Tour and they will be mic’d up for their match Thanksgiving Friday in Las Vegas. Let’s hope the war of words gets a little better than this.
