Phil On Morning Drive: WGC's, Playoffs Taking A Backseat In '14

Phil Mickelson talked about his work with KPMG on their Reading Relay initiative, The Open at Muirfield, Pinehurst in 2014 and his upcoming schedule. Other than dropping the Humana Challenge, he said he's playing most of his traditional early season schedule. But since one can only play so much golf, it looks like he'll be dropping a WGC and playoff events later in the year.

"The first half of the season won't be too different. My performance levels off and goes down a bit as we start to go into the second half of the year," he added. "I think where the changes are going to have to take place are in the second half of the year ... Those events to me are going to have to take a backseat, because I physically and mentally just wasn't able to perform at the level I expect."
