Three-time Masters winner Phil Mickelson is back at Augusta National just a year after skipping the tournament over the controversy that followed his comments about Saudi Arabia and LIV Golf. 

Despite the time away, Mickelson apparently had little to say at Tuesday’s Champions Dinner, this year hosted in honor of 2022 winner Scottie Scheffler.

Two-time Major winner Fuzzy Zoeller, who slipped into the coveted green jacket in 1979, told The Augusta Chronicle that Mickelson "didn’t speak at all" during the annual dinner.

"We’re just 33 past champions in a room, all trying to get along," he told the outlet. "Nobody said a word about it. Phil sat near the end of the table and kept to himself. He didn’t speak at all." 

Tommy Aaron, 1973 champion, confirmed that, adding that Mickelson was oddly "quiet."

"I wished him good luck, but I couldn’t believe how quiet he was. Phil took a very low profile. He didn’t say a word."
