Phil Mickelson will make his first start of the 2026 LIV Golf season on Thursday when the tournament tees off at Steyn City.
Mickelson has missed four events but has now confirmed his place in the field for the debut event on South African soil.
Wade Ormsby and Ollie Schneiderjans have been filling in for Mickelson during events in Riyadh, Adelaide, Hong Kong and Singapore.
But the six-time Major champion is now back in the fold for LIV’s first ever trip to South Africa in Steyn City.
Mickelson said he was missing the season opener in Riyadh due to a “family health matter” and he’s not been seen in action since.
“I will not be able to participate in the first two LIV Events as Amy and I need to be present for a family health matter,” Mickelson posted on social media before Riyadh.
“I can’t wait to compete again and look forward to rejoining my teammates as soon as possible.”
