Does anyone know where I can find details regarding Phil Mickelson losing a big wager before the 2008 Masters?

Question

I heard that Phil bet some amateurs $100,000 versus their $5,000 during the run up to the 2008 Masters. The story goes that after losing, Phil then tried to renege on the bet. The matter was taken to the head of the Augusta National Club who threatened to keep Phil out of next year's tournament if he didn't pay up.

Answer 1

Yes - http://www.snopes.com/sports/golf/mickel...

It's a lie

Answer 2

Phil would have nothing to gain by making a stupid bet like that!
