Phil Mickelson’s name wasn’t on the initial list of players for this week’s LIV Golf Invitational Series opener in London, but did you really think Lefty would miss out?
On Monday, hours after announcing its plans to stream the inaugural event at Centurion Club outside London, June 9-11, it was also announced that Mickelson would be ending his self-imposed hiatus and teeing it up alongside Dustin Johnson, Kevin Na and the rest of the LIV Golf field.
Mickelson last competed on the PGA Tour in January, where he missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open. He then finished T-18 a week later at the Saudi International. He has largely avoided the public after making controversial comments about the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia.
