Phil Wavering On Match Play; Finchem Wonders Out-Loud If He Can Dock Mickelson Brood's Allowance

Bernie McGuire with the news that Phil Mickelson is pondering another pass on the WGC Match Play because it's a vacation week for Phil's children.

"Right now I may end up playing and I may not, and it will depend on some out-of-school stuff that could prohibit us actually going on a family vacation which is what we did last year," the U.S. Masters champion told Reuters.

"Tucson is one of my favourite places to play and the Match-Play is one of my favourite tournaments to compete in but with the kids having a week off school I would say I am 50-50 right now whether I do play."

The Match-Play Championship starts on Feb. 23. Mickelson has missed the event just twice since the inaugural tournament in 1999 -- in 2001 and last year.
