PHIL MICKELSON has purchased a lot on Jupiter Island, Fla., for an undisclosed amount and he "hopes to begin construction" on a house soon. Mickelson said that his family's "current plan" is to move to Florida after his youngest child, EVAN, "graduates from high school in a year and a half." Mickelson "didn't offer a reason for his potential move," but in '13, he suggested he "might move out of California because of his federal and state tax bill, which he estimated had pushed his tax rate" above 60% (GOLFCHANNEL.com, 1/15). Mickelson and TIGER WOODS "will basically be neighbors," as Woods has been "one of Jupiter Island's 900ish residents since his move there" in '11 (GOLF.com, 1/15).
