Phil Mickelson has confirmed that he will not be playing at the PGA Championship five years on from his record-breaking victory at Kiawah Island.

It has, once again, been a turbulent season for Mickelson. He has only played in one LIV Golf event so far.

And it has to be said that there are probably real doubts about whether he will play in another, simply based on the fact that LIV’s future looks to be incredibly uncertain right now.

Phil Mickelson rules himself out of playing in the PGA Championship

Mickelson has spent time away from the game due to a family matter. He did not play in The Masters for only the second time since 1995 in April.

His place in the PGA Championship was in real doubt after it was confirmed that he would also miss LIV Golf‘s next event this week.

As reported exclusively by Flushing It on X, Mickelson has now revealed that he will not be in the field at Aronimink for the second major of the year later this month.

“I wish I could. I can’t unfortunately. I’m hoping to play the rest of the year after that but I honestly don’t know,” he said.

LIV Golf is certainly missing Phil Mickelson as the league’s future remains uncertain
