Fair enough, I don't know whether he's been suspended. And if he has been, the PGA didn't contradict him when he said he needs to take some time away which, given the facts, was certainly for more gracious than anything he did leading up to it.

I always chuckle when someone who became rich complains the source through which he acquired his wealth cries, "Unfair!" For without the PGA, Mickleson is effectively nobody and has nothing. He'd probably be selling insurance somewhere.

Consider the PGA, with its corporate involvement and charity work, is an institution in America. It employs a lot of people both directly and indirectly, and benefits tens of thousands more. Phil attempted to purloin the PGA of its crown jewels, its top 20 players. And he did it with no investment of his own, it was all with someone else's (questionable) money. As such I think it would be difficult to be more disrespectful. But no matter how it comes out, when you try to run away with the landlord's daughter, you don't get to complain about how he came after you. :)
