GAINESVILLE, GAINESVILLE, GAINESVILLE, GAINESVILLE Three-time Masters winner Phil Mickelson withdrew out of this year’s competition, but Augusta National Golf Club chairman Fred Ridley indicated he was allowed to participate if he wanted to.
Mickelson texted Ridley in late February or early March to inform him that he would not be competing in this week’s Masters.
During a press conference on Wednesday, Ridley said, “I would want to stress we did not disinvite Phil.” “Phil is the reigning PGA champion and a three-time Masters winner who gets invited in that and many other categories.
“Phil contacted me… and informed me that he would not be playing. That was by SMS, and I thanked him for taking the time to inform me. I told him how much we liked it and that I was happy to talk more about it with him if he wanted. He thanked me and we had a pleasant conversation.”
Mickelson hasn’t competed in a PGA Tour event in golf than two months, despite becoming the oldest major winner at 50 with his surprising triumph at the PGA Championship on Kiawah Island, South Carolina, last year. He last competed in late January at the Farmers Insurance Open, where he failed to make the cut.
On February 17, author Alan Shipnuck published Mickelson’s divisive remarks on the PGA Tour and a possible breakaway league backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the country’s $500 billion sovereign wealth fund.
Mickelson told Shipnuck, who shared an extract from his new book, “Phil: The Rip-Roaring (and Unauthorized!) Biography of Golf’s Most Colorful Superstar,” on the Fire Pit Collective website, that “they’re frightening motherf—-ers to be involved with.”
“… They assassinated [Washington Post writer and U.S. resident Jamal] Khashoggi and have a terrible human rights record,” Mickelson stated in a November interview, according to Shipnuck. “People are executed for being homosexual in that country. Why would I ever contemplate it knowing all of this? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to change the way the PGA Tour works.”
Mickelson’s remarks were slammed by other PGA Tour players. KPMG, Amstel Light, and Workday, among his longstanding sponsors, have discontinued their ties with him. Mickelson, a six-time major champion, has had his partnership with Callaway stopped.
Mickelson subsequently expressed regret for his remarks.
Mickelson added in his apology, “It was irresponsible, I insulted people, and I am genuinely sorry for my choice of words.” “I’m devastated, and I’m going to make every attempt to analyze and learn from this.”
Mickelson announced on Twitter that he will be taking a sabbatical from golf. At last month’s Players Championship, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said that he had not yet talked to Mickelson.
“I know I haven’t been my best,” Mickelson wrote, “and I badly need some time away to prioritize the ones I love most and concentrate on becoming the guy I want to be.”
Mickelson would have made his 30th Masters appearance. In 2010, he was the last player to win a green jacket.
Ridley stated, “He made a personal choice, and I don’t know anything beyond that.” “I know Phil has been a regular visitor to the Masters for a long time. He’s played a significant role in our history. I and we both wish him the best of luck in getting through the problems he’s now facing.”
