Nick Faldo found Phil Mickelson’s silence to be deafening.

The two legendary golfers have been at odds ever since Mickelson left the PGA Tour to join controversial LIV Golf in 2022.

They crossed paths earlier this week at the Masters Champions Dinner in Augusta, Ga., where the retired Faldo is on hand commenting for Sky Sports.

Faldo told the listening audience that Mickelson was in a subdued mood and that his reunion with other PGA golfers was awkward, according to The Sun.

“Phil was very quiet on Tuesday, he didn’t say a word,” Faldo said. “He was dead quiet, standing next to me. I wonder why.”

Mickelson won the Masters in 2004, 2006 and 2010.

Faldo won in 1989, 1990 and 1996.

Faldo said last year that he didn’t think LIV Golf would survive much longer after the $3 billion merger between the PGA and the LIV’s investors.

“I don’t think so because nobody’s really interested,” Faldo said at the time. “They call it a team (event) and it’s not because it’s strokeplay. … It’s only half a dozen (players) that are really current. Half of the field I don’t really know, and half the field are there for the very nice last-placed money that you still get if you shoot 20-over.”
