Spiranac and Mickelson have a past. When the rival LIV Golf League permitted their players to wear shorts, Mickelson chastised the PGA Tour for not allowing joggers and ankle socks. Mickelson posted, "The Tour doesn’t allow shorts but does allow this weeks leader to wear joggers with ankle socks? Showing 4 inches of ankle? I’m no fashion guy, never will be, but there are some things I won’t ever understand."
