Who made Phil Mickelson's Masters call and will Tiger Woods play - Scotsman Golf Show

Phil Mickelson has been the talk of the steamie once again in the golf world this week after it was confirmed that he’s missing The Masters for the first time since 1994.

Was he talked into that decision by Augusta National officials after finding himself shrouded in controversy following some recent comments?

And will he be joined in sitting out the opening men’s major of the 2022 season by five-time winner Tiger Woods?

Chief golf correspondent Martin Dempster joins deputy sports editor Matthew Elder to ponder those questions and also talks about Bob MacIntyre, Gemma Dryburgh and Callum McNeill in the latest edition of The Scotsman Golf Show.
