Where the heck is Phil?

jdub123 · December 18, 2006

I dont know about you guys, but where the heck was Phil Mickelson after the US Open? I didnt see him participate in any tournaments after that? Maybe he is just wallowing in his own US Open Pity.

Does anyone know?

He went to Disney World to play "GOOFY" for the rest of the year!

He is home with a foxey wife and his kids counting his money and waiting for the west coast swing to start in January.

He tries taking the last couple of months off for his family time, he still made pleanty of cash this year.

**NCGolfer** · December 19, 2006

He's making an infomercial for the Manzier Swing Support System.

I think he is in London working with Laura Davies on how to get his "upper body" turned through the ball.

**Dminn23** · December 19, 2006

I heard a rumor that he's working very hard to re-shape his physique at the moment and hes not granting any interviews, I think he's going to wait until the start of the season to be seen. I'm eager to see what kind of shape he'll be in for the next year.

I don't think we'll see Phil until April.

I don't think we'll see Phil until April.

or at least we hope to don't see him till then.

Man you guys are brutal:

"I think he is in London working with Laura Davies on how to get his "upper body" turned through the ball."

"He went to Disney World to play "GOOFY" for the rest of the year!"

But Funny.

I didn't hear anyone saying anything about Tigers Foxy wife or going on his billion dollar yacht when Tiger missed the cut by a ton then didn't show up again till the British Open.

Phil does have three majors.

I'm not saying anything about Phil's lazy butt or lack of playing. I am simply saying he has ginormous man boobs.

I see alot of Phil bashing on this board. Some well deserved. Yes Tiger is the best in the world, but you know one thing Phil has that most players on the PGA tour? A passsion to beat Tiger. You can see his frustration. If he wins the US Open he is number one in the world, at least till the British Open. And I think you saw how frustrated he was when he saw his number one status slip away on the 18th tee box. Most players are just happy to be millionaires. Not Phil.

I could not agree with you more. I am a Phil fan. I root for Phil and Tiger to come down to the 18th in every tourney they play b/c I think Phil wants to be in that position to conquer his demons. Sure, I wish he played more. I wish all the big names played more, but like Erik said somewhere else on here, they don't have to, so they won't.

Phil would not have been #1. Not statistically, anyway. In the hearts and minds of fans, sure.

Furthermore, I would question your "Phil wants to beat Tiger" opinion. Why does Phil play in so few "big-name" events? What percentage of Phil's wins are in big events? What percentage of Tiger's wins are in big events? Phil seems - to me - to be content to make a lot of money and wants or NEEDS to be adored by fans. He likes winning the lame shootout events when he's "on" because he can make a heckuva lot of birdies in a hurry. But when he's off, forget it. I think we'll have a Numbers Game article soon that talks about the relative strength of field of Phil's events versus Tiger's. If Phil wanted to earn a little more of my respect, he'd play more top-tier events instead of spending his 18 spots per year (or so) on the weaker-field events.

Erik;What is Tigers excuse for skipping Mercedes?Since you seem to be his public relations machine here give us a good spin on this.Oh by the way Phill is only pluged into 15 events a year just like Tiger.

**ApplebyFan** · December 30, 2006

I genuinely feel that Phil plays for his love of golf, and his love of winning. I think that all the money is just an added bonus.

You'd have to ask him.

Yes, he is, and a good chunk of them seem to be fairly weak-field events. I would bet that the strength of field of Tiger's wins is probably twice as strong (in OWGR points, or world ranking #) as Phil's.

And flap, cut the garbage talk. I have an opinion I suspect will be backed by statistical analysis (in January), and I've expressed it.
