In his press conference today at the Northern Trust Open, Phil Mickelson announced that he will not play the Ping Eye2 wedge at this week's event.
Mickelson started his presser strongly stating two points. First, he accepted Scott McCarron's sincere apology on Tuesday. Second, because of his respect for the other players on tour, and citing the support they gave last year (during the "Pink Out" at the Colonial), he will not play the loophole wedge for now. He will give the governing bodies time to iron out the matter and solve the problem. He said that "it's killing" golf. He added that the rule change (rollback to V-grooves) has been good for him, but that it doesn't make it right for the game.
