Way, Way OT - Mickelson/Senior Open

Does anyone know why Phil Mickelson is not playing in the US Senior Open at Newport? I don't think he played in the US Senior Open last year either.

Was he exempt?

If a player wins the PGA Championship within 10 years of becoming a senior he is exempt for the rest of that period.  Phil was already 50 when he won so he gets 10 years from then.


Perhaps he can’t afford the $300 entry fee.😉

Perhaps he needed  a break after a T37 at Houston and a T40 in Nashville , his last 2 LIV events.

I was always a Big Phil fan, sad to say he has become irrrelevant
Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta
