Phil Mickelson will not be participating in this year's Masters Tournament, an Augusta National official confirmed to CBS Sports' Kyle Porter.

That comes after the event website had listedMickelson among its "past champions not playing" on its list of 2022 invitees for April's major.

As Bob Harig of Sports Illustrated noted, "Mickelson has been the subject of considerable controversy lately due to his comments about the PGA Tour and his flirtations with a rival golf tour led by Greg Norman called the LIV Golf Invitational Series."
 
Just checked Match play, Paul Casey had to WD, conceded both matches, and Seamus Power just eliminated Patrick Cantlay, no. 4 seed overall. Love this tournament.
 
Kisner won again.

Still no idea why he never gets any sort of love for the Ryder/Pres Cup.

Dude is a match play assassin

I was pulling for List but he really didn't do anything wrong Kisner just birdied everything down the stretch
 
I don't think I ever heard of Scheffler 2 years ago and now he's world number one. Pretty cool.
He'd never won a golf tournament before January now hes number one in the world. Did have a bunch of high finishes finished 2nd in this tournament last year, so it's not like he came from nowhere

4 top 8 finishes in his last 6 majors and a slew of top 10's overall.....he has become a consistent power.
 
Absolutely amazing what confidence can do for someone. I think it all started at the Ryder Cup. Since then he has skyrocketed to an elite player.

Have never rooted for Tiger but I hope he gets to play in the Masters. Not for golf’s sake but for him personally.
 
Loved all those Sea Pines courses.

Harbour Town was in best shape, mainly cause RBC coming up and it was February.

Played the Art Hills course in Palmetto Dunes today. Course was meh, not in great shape either. but the real estate development is top drawer. Some phenomenal homes on that course.
 
Always stay in PD but rarely play Hills or Fazio. I think Hills is better course than Fazio but there is something to the contouring of Hills that throws me off. I'll play RTJ occasionally. It's almost to a point where it is way overpriced. For the higher end courses, I'll play as a single and try to get an online deal, even if it's 1:00 in afternoon in July.

I did some inquiring on that one last fall and it was meh then too per the reviews.
 
Playing Atlantic Dunes Saturday afternoon my favorite at sea pines although I've never played the private club near the front gate. Thought about trying to get on but not enough time this trip

Have played the private, really nice course. If you have any access to a pro at a private club, they may be able to get you on.

Agree on Atlantic Dunes. Fun course. More imaginative than Harbourtown.

Played AD yesterday, course was in phenomenal shape, really top notch, played pretty darn well, until 17 and 18, which have water everywhere, and were straight into the teeth of about a 25 MPH wind. Round did not end well. At all. :(

Like everything else, cost of golf has gotten pricey, AD was $284, and I played after 2 PM, when I thought rates went down. Oh well, can't take it with you.

OT, but does anyone else think they would have a hard time living with big F-ing alligators lying in your back yard? There were a couple on one hole that were 15 feet long lying about 20 feet from some guy's back deck. I don't think I would have kids or pets around, but I know that people are there all the time, so gators must be safer than they look.

Watching this drive, chip, and putt and good God some of these 9 year old girls take FOREVER to hit a 15 foot putt (and then usually proceed to blow it by 7 feet). Speed it up a little bit Nancy.

Tiger is playing. He knows he doesn’t have too many chances left to catch Jack and obviously this course is his best chance each year.
 
The greatest golf shot no one knows about.....Arnie/Miller playing Jack/Watson in a scramble for the opening of Jack's new course in 2010, and Arnie had just putted and it came back to him......then this. #goat

We stay at a house that backs up to one of the greens on AD, with a good size lagoon separating the property. Quite often I am watching a couple of nice size ones sunning in the morning on the banks of the green......thanking the fence between us and the water.

As with any gator inhabited property....keep your eyes open and never let pets out alone or off the leash. Way too many stories of idiot pet owners supplying a meal.

Spieths pre shot routine is just odd. But he was striping it this past weekend. Thought about this while watching the tournament. Who completes the career slam first? Him or Rory? Or do neither?

It is very odd. It seems like it is enhancing the one thing most coaches say not to do...an outside to inside swing. Oddly enough though as pronounced as it is in his pre shot routine his actual shot doesn't mimic that.
