Big news from the golf world.

Three-time master's champ, Phil Mickelson, just pulled out of the tournament next week.

He's dealing with a family help issue that's kept him sidelined most of the year, including

all but one LIB golf event.

And get this, Tiger Woods is also sitting out indefinitely after his arrest for driving

under the influence in that February 27th crash in Florida.

Mickelson's been scarcelyly skipping four LIB stops before tying for 48th in South

Africa two weeks back.

He called the masters his favorite week and his record backs it up with wins in 2004,

2006, and 2010.

Eight players with three green jackets.

Fans are feeling the sting since it's the first masters without either legends since

1994 when Woods was still in high school.

Mickelson broke his leg skiing.

These guys have defined a gust of for decades, so the field's got a different vibe now.

Mickelson's only other no show was in 2022 after his explosive comments blasting PGA

tour greed ahead of LIB's launch.

That cost him sponsors, but he jumped to LIB later that year.

No details yet on the family matter, but he's out for an extended stretch.

The masters kicks off April 9th with a 91 man field and one spot open if this week's

Texas open winner needs it.

A gust that won't be the same without these icons, but the show goes on.
