After a four-month hiatus, Phil Mickelson is ready to return to competitive golf, albeit on a “new path” and with a “fresh start” on the LIV Golf Invitational Series.<\/p>\n

Mickelson, a six-time major championship winner, was added to the field on Monday for LIV Golf’s first event, which is scheduled to start Thursday at Centurion Club outside London. In a statement posted to his Twitter account on Monday<\/a>Mickelson said he still plans to play in the majors, but didn’t say whether he would compete in PGA Tour events.<\/p>\n

Mickelson, 51, hasn’t played since missing the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open in January. He skipped the Masters and PGA Championship, an event he won last year. He took time away from golf after his controversial comments about the PGA Tour’s “obnoxious greed,” and the Saudi Arabian financiers of LIV Golf, caused a firestorm. Mickelson said he feels healthy and “more at peace” after being “engaged and intentional” in continued therapy.<\/p>\n
