The officials have released the 2022 Masters Tournament field list recently. Surprisingly, Phil Mickelson is not included in the list, whereas Tiger Woods is a part of it. While the whole golf world is discussing why they left Lefty from the Augusta National this year, Paige Spiranac has a different concern about the news.
The former professional golfer took Twitter to share her viewpoint of the field list of the 2022 Masters.
Who cares about Phil. I need to know if Tiger is playing the masters

Despite having health-related concerns, Woods is part of the field list of the 2022 Masters. And Spiranac is nothing but happy about it. The only thing that concerns her about the news is whether the GOAT would play at the Augusta Nationals this year, or not.
On the flip side, Spiranac tweeted she is not worried about Mickelson’s absence at the Masters.
For the first time in the last 27 years, this would be the first time Mickelson is not a part of the Masters. There is no official statement on why he was not invited for the major. However, many speculate that his controversial comments regarding the Saudi-backed Golf League and PGA Tour might be the reason for it.
Fans’ reaction to Spiranac’s tweet regarding Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods’ news
The comments regarding Woods had mixed emotions as some showed their happiness, whereas some had the same doubt as Spiranac.
He’s still listed as playing till he says he is not I guess….

No way Tiger plays. Just my opinion it walking that course for him would be brutal.

Ouch! But yes I'd like to know about Tiger too! I doubt it but if he plays, he wins. I'll be there!

Her viewpoint on Mickelson’s news, too, received many mixed comments. While some had the same opinion as the former pro golfer, some expressed how they would want to watch him play again.
Phil is a good man and an incredibly generous man with his time and his money. He is no saint and only our creator is perfect. His favorite tournament to play is the Masters. The patrons and the tournament will suffer with him not competing. It’s a rotten shame.

How many Masters in a row for Phil? 28? Since I don’t keep up, is this about his endorsement of the Saudi golf league? Too bad if it is.

Since Spiranac showed no interest in Mickelson’s news whatsoever, many were curious to know whether the former golfer holds a grudge on Lefty. One of the many asked, “Cmon don’t downplay Phil he’s always great to watch.” To which Spiranac replied:
He blocked me. I’m petty
