Phil Mickelson is presently playing in London at the inaugural event of the LIV Golf Invitational Series. Since the league wouldn’t reveal the field list of the upcoming events until a week before it, the fans are unaware of how long the golfer will play at the event.
“I’ll be playing all the LIV events,” Mickelson answered. The golfer revealed his plans with LIV Golf in the press meet after day 1 in London. “I’ll be participating in all the LIV events,” the golfer assured the golf world.
