On Tuesday, Phil Mickelson posted a teaser of the upcoming 2v2 series along with Grant Horvat on X. In the video, the duo calls McIlroy their favorite golfer while naming Wesley Bryan their least favorite.

"You’re going to regret starting this series," he wrote.

Horvat also jumped into the conversation and challenged Bryan.

"Sorry… @wesleybryangolf Let’s get this thing started!" he wrote.

When will Phil Mickelson play next?

Phil Mickelson will return to competitive golf in February 2025 with the new season of LIV Golf. The inaugural event of the fourth season will take place in Riyadh from February 6-8.

Mickelson has hinted that he might step down if he fails to improve in the upcoming season. It will be interesting to see whether this will be his final season or if he will continue playing for several more years.

The 2024 season was not great for Phil Mickelson, as he achieved only one top-10 finish. Although he recorded a career-best T6 finish at Jeddah, the season overall was disappointing. He finished 46th in the LIV Golf individual standings and narrowly avoided the Drop Zone.

In the major championships, Mickelson missed the cut at both the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open. His best result in the majors was a T43 finish at the Masters Tournament.
