PGA Tour golfer Michael Brennan shot out of a thirst trap on Thursday.
Brennan played shirtless for a moment at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, exposing his chiseled physique and inviting online admiration and jokes.
“Someone has been doing abs all winter and wanted it to be known,” one observer wrote on X.

“I’m just looking at his muscles,” another added.
“He should’ve twirled his shirt over his head,” someone else cracked.
Brennan went topless presumably to keep his jersey clean and dry when his ball dropped onto the water’s edge on the 18th hole. But his shot attempt caught mostly water and mud as the ball dropped into the drink.
He used the moment to subtly strike a pose or two.
“Keep flexing,” a commentator said in a clip shared by the PGA Tour. “Keeping flexing ’em.”

Brennan and partner Johnny Keefer finished the first day with an 11-under-61 in the team tournament.
“Yeah, it was fun,” Brennan said of his shirtless adventure, per pgatour.com.
