Phil will return to PGA Tour at the Bridgestone Invitational
PGA Tour | Written by BigRedThe wait is finally over: More than five weeks after his last competitive round of golf at the 2009 US Open, world number two Phil Mickelson has announced that he will return to the PGA Tour at next week’s Bridgestone Invitational.
He will play three out of the next four weeks as he also confirmed his participation in the PGA Championship - the year’s last major tournament - and the Barclays, the first event of the 2009 FedEx Cup Playoffs.
Mickelson suspended his playing schedule after his second place at the US Open to be with his wife and mother who both had breast cancer surgery within a few days of each other.
Even though we certainly cannot expect Phil to return in full form after his lengthy lay-off I am sure that the next weeks will be a fantastic time for all of us.

If Phil isn’t playing, I don’t generally watch. I like his “shoot from the hip” type of playing. If I had my choice of playing in a foursome it would be Phil, Fred Couples, and last but by no means the least, Arnie. I wouldn’t care if I never swung a club. Just being on the same course would be the next thing to Heaven.
