Phil Mickelson, of all people, is now on social media. Mickelson, long thought to be the best Twitter follow who wasn't actually on Twitter, introduced himself to the medium on Wednesday with this simple GIF ... of himself.

He's also apparently on Instagram, even though he hasn't posted anything yet. Of course, because this is Mickelson and because he's beloved, the golf Twitter-verse went bonkers in the aftermath of Lefty firing off the first of what I hope are several hundred takes in the weeks to come.
I guess anything is possible! Phil’s officially on Twitter. Go give him a follow @PhilMickelson

How long was Phil’s meeting with counsel about the dangers of self-incrimination on Twitter?

Phil quick to follow Tiger right out of the gates with his new account, but Tiger still hasn’t hit him yet with the follow back. “He’s busy with the pro-am,” you say. But relationships have crumbled over less.

Phil Mickelson getting a Twitter account a month before the Ryder Cup is at least one of my media wishes granted, perhaps, by a genie. pic.twitter.com/V2H3fFZuuZ
