Mickelson showed how little it means now.
Lefty decided to skip the tour's version of the All-Star game - only the top 30 on the money list are eligible - so he could spend Halloween with his kids. At least that was the reason making the rounds on the practice range Tuesday, and confirmed later by a tour official.
Yes, but did he wear a costume?
No one should be terribly surprised that Mickelson is a no-show at East Lake, even though the Tour Championship is one of only two tournaments he has won after the majors have ended.
"It's not the first time," Tiger Woods said with a shrug as he headed upstairs to the locker room. "We all know he doesn't play a lot at the end of the season. Go look at his record. He doesn't play much after Firestone."
