"No longer a gentleman’s game"- Fans react to Collin Morikawa hilariously flipping off TaylorMade staff

PGA Tour superstar Collin Morikawa has been a loyal member of team TaylorMade since 2019. The 27-year-old took part in the company's annual end-of-the-year content shoot this week.

TaylorMade's content in charge Ollie Neglerio captured a snap of Morikawa during a break in the shoot and the same has been running rounds on the internet. The golfer could be seen enjoying a sandwich with some fries while flipping Neglerio off.

Here's a look into the image shared by NUCLR Golf on X (formerly known as Twitter):

A golf enthusiast took to the comments section of the post to say:

"No longer a gentleman's game."

Morikawa has some of the world's biggest brands as his sponsors, including Adidas, Omega, Zurich Insurance, FedEx, and U.S. Bank. A fan stated that the image would tick them off. The X user said:

"Sponsors won’t be happy with that photo"

Here are a few other fans' reactions to the viral picture of Morikawa taking a break on the TaylorMade shoot.

"People say golf has a personality issue but then mad at someone flipping the bird," said a fan.

"Morikawa with the different energy," commented a user.

An X user said, "Solid look for the brand."

"I thought he was supposed to be such a nice young man," stated a user.
