The Outlook
It's hard to get excited about Mickelson competing with the big boys anymore: He hasn't finished in the top 20 of a major since dueling Henrik Stenson at the British Open back in 2016. He missed the cut at the PGA Championship last year, and he's had just one top 10 in this event in the past decade. He's typically a popular DFS pick and bet, which further inflates his value. Pass for me.
