According to Mickelson, the Masters is much easier than that of the PLAYERS. “When you go to Augusta, I feel like I don’t have to be perfect, and so I end up making better swings,” Lefty said in an interview.
“And then you get out here (PLAYERS), and the fairways are tight, the rough is thicker, and then I start to steer it, and I start to make some horrific swings.”

Twitter reactions to the news!
Apparently, the golf world is currently torn between the people who think the golfer had taken a break from it and the people who think the PGA Tour has suspended him.
His "time away" is probably code for suspended… Wouldn't expect to see him until Augusta at the earliest

Can’t register if your suspended…
— Bruce Ford (@bfinnh) March 4, 2022
My guess is he’s suspended
— Chris (@GolfGuy77) March 4, 2022
Probably needs to clear up and clean up a few things before thinking about golf, wouldn’t ya think 🤔 He said he was taking a break. Give him that

When he said he was taking time away I don’t think he ever meant 1 week off
— Jack Kent (@jack_kent4) March 4, 2022
Wonder if he was suspended or asked to take a sabbatical

Masters will be his first tournament back.
