Phil Mickelson is considering retirement.

According to ESPN.com, the former ASU Sun Devil said he’s thinking about either quitting golf or leaving his home in California. Mickelson is upset with the federal and California state tax increases.

During today’s inauguration ceremony for President Obama, Mickelson said he’s in the zone that’s been targeted by both the feds and the state and it doesn’t work for him right now, so he has to “make some lifestyle changes”.
