Twitter reacts as MLB star Mike Trout RIPS drive at TopGolf
Even Phil Mickelson felt the need to get involved after a video emerged of MLB star Mike Trout hitting a monster drive at TopGolf.
When it comes to hitting bombs on the driving range, it's not just golfers who possess the ability to rip the ball over the back fence. A video recently went viral of MLB star Mike Trout hitting an absolute rocket of a drive over the fence at TopGolf and even Phil Mickelson was impressed.
It hasn't taken long for people to create memes around the video, but the best one by a country mile is one that features Tiger Woods' face on 'Chubbs Peterson', the brilliant character from the golf film Happy Gilmore. Check out the epic clip below:
Trout is a professional baseball player for the Los Angeles Angels and an eight-time MLB All-Star. In 2019, Trout signed a 12-year, $426 million contract with the Angels, the richest contract in the history of North American sports. Watch Trout show off his power at TopGolf in the video below:
