Monday golf: Phil Mickelson makes PGA Tour Champions debut
If you’re up for some live golf on a Monday, you’re in luck.
Three days after missing the cut on the PGA Tour’s Northern Trust at TPC Boston, Phil Mickelson is making his PGA Tour Champions debut in Ridgedale, Missouri.
Lefty tees it up at 3:20 p.m. ET alongside Steve Stricker and Retief Goosen at the Charles Schwab Series at Ozarks National Golf Course.
The Champions Tour added consecutive events at at Ozarks National in late July as part of its combined 2020-21 schedule.
Shane Bertsch won the first event in the double-header last week. He eagled the first hole of a four-man playoff Friday to win the Charles Schwab Series at Bass Pro Shops Big Cedar Lodge. Now, after the weekend off, the first-ever Champions Tour event played Monday through Wednesday gets underway.
Ernie Els, Davis Love III, David Toms, Kenny Perry, Tom Lehman, Bernhard Langer, Vijay Singh, Darren Clarke, Colin Montgomerie, Miguel Angel Jimenez and John Daly are among the names on the tee sheet.
Rich Beem is also in the field. He turns 50 on Monday, so he’ll be making his Champions tour debut on his birthday.
