Phil Mickelson breaks silence as he confirms he will play inaugural Saudi golf event

Six-time major champion Phil Mickelson has confirmed he'll join the Saudi-funded LIV Golf Invitational Series, which gets underway in Hertfordshire on June 9.

A provisional list of 42 players had already been confirmed for the competition's inaugural event at the Centurion Club this month. However, Mickelson and Rickie Fowler have now been confirmed as part of the PGA exodus.

The LIV Golf Invitational Series will provide competition for the PGA Tour with eight planned events this year, each boasting $25million (£20m) in prize money. Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood are among those to already confirm they'll join the breakaway league.
