Well so much for Mr Nice Guy, schmuck...

There is no doubt that Mickelson's taxes are high. And they just went up by an additional 7.9 percent over the past three months due to the "fiscal cliff" deal and California's Proposition 30.

Phil Mickelson is now saying he should have kept his opinions to himself on taxes, with CNBC's Brian Shactman and Robert Frank.

But several accountants interviewed said it's unlikely that Mickelson is actually paying a rate above 60 percent. With even the most basic tax planning, they said, his real rate is most likely closer to 50 percent.
