Phil Mickelson released a statement after officially signing a deal with LIV Golf Investments apologizing for his recent comments
and announcing that he will play the first Invitational Series event this week outside of London.
“First and foremost, I want to again apologize to the many people I offended and hurt with my comments a few months ago. I have made mistakes in my career in some of the things I have said and done,” Mickelson wrote in a statement. “Taking time away and self-reflecting has been very humbling. I need to start prioritizing the people that I love the most and work on becoming a better version of myself ...
“I am ready to come back to play the game I love but after 32 years this new path is a fresh start, one that is exciting for me at this stage of my career and is clearly transformative, not just for myself, but ideally for the game and my peers … I am incredibly grateful for what this game and the PGA Tour has given me. I would like to think that I have given back as well but now I am excited about this new opportunity.
Mickelson, 51, will begin play Thursday in the $25 million, 54-hole event at the Centurion Golf Club, but said he also plans to play in the four major championships moving forward “I fully realize and respect some may disagree with this decision and have strong opinions and I empathize with that,” he continued. “I have a renewed spirit and excitement for the game. I am incredibly grateful for the support of my fans, partners, friends and peers and I hope in time, those sentiments, relationships and support continue.”
