Mickelson hasn't played in well over a month and isn't teeing it up at the LIV Golf Virginia event this weekend, which led to speculation that he wouldn't play in the PGA Championship. He won the event back in 2021 to become the oldest major championship winner in history at the age of 50 years, 11 months, and 7 days.
The six-time major champion has not announced an official word on whether or not he'll play in the tournament. The news of his involvement in the field, though, comes as he appears to be happy with not competing at the U.S. Open later this year.
Mickelson missed the cut in each of the last two PGA Championships while finishing in a tie for 58th in 2023.
