Ireland's Padraig Harrington is eyeing an extended break from golf after complaining of "staleness."
Harrington is competing in the Grand Slam of Golf Title in Bermuda after a season in which he had one top-five finish.
Harrington, a three-time major winner, is looking to take a period out of the game in order to regain his sharpness.
"I've just played probably too many events and I feel it's time for a break," he said after shooting a first-round 74 in Bermuda.
"It's just pure staleness in the game. I've just overplayed.
"Already in my head, (I have) pulled out of another two events during the winter to give me a long winter break.
"It will be probably the longest winter break I've taken since I won my majors. There's not a shadow of a doubt that I'm completely over-golfed at this very moment."
Harrington is seven shots off the lead in Bermuda, with Justin Rose, Jason Dufner and Adam Scott ahead of him.
