Mickelson Drops Golf For Soccer


Phil Mickelson after beating Tiger down the stretch in the exciting (as exciting as a golf tournament can be) finish to the Deutsche Bank Championship says 'not so much' when asked about looking forward to the BMW Championship next week. Mickelson steps up to the microphones and says that his kids are starting school this week and have soccer games and he needs to spend some time with his family.

So Lefty is passing up a shot at $17M to see his kids' (all under nine years old) first Rec games of the season.(much to the chagrin of the boys on SportCenter)

No doubt Phil has got to be a run away leader for soccer dad of the year!

Good for him. How much more money does he need, anyway?
