During the pre-Masters dinner on Tuesday, Faldo bumped into Mickelson.
The pair have not seen eye-to-eye in recent years, since the 53-year-old became one of the highest-profile stars to swap the PGA Tour for the LIV Golf in 2022.
According to Faldo, Mickelson was in good spirits as he awkwardly reunited with his former colleagues.
Appearing on Sky, Faldo said: “Phil was very quiet on Tuesday, he didn’t say a word.
“He was completely quiet, still next for me. I want to know why.”
Faldo has often been an outspoken critic of LIV Golf.
Asked last year whether the Saudi-backed trip would survive, he said: “I don’t think so, because nobody is really interested.
“They won’t get the sponsorship they want.

“They call it a team (event) and it’s not because it’s a stroke play… There are only half a dozen (players) who are really current.
“Half the field I don’t really know and half the field is there for the Cool last placed money that you can still get it right 20 times.”
When discussing Jon Rahm’s chances of retaining the Masters, Faldo had another criticism of LIV.
He told the Spaniard’s Sky Sports Golf podcast: “He’s a great player, but he’s going to have to work a little harder to accelerate and get the intensity right.
“He has been playing at resorts in shorts for the last few months and has not yet been tested.”
