Mickelson, now 51, became the oldest player to win a major at
the PGA Championship earlier this year at the age of 50. He has
won 45 tournaments throughout his PGA career, and has already
won 3 Champions Tour tournaments, starting last year when he
turned 50 and becoming eligible for the senior tour. This will
be just his sixth Champions Tour event.
Mickelson played in college just down the road at Arizona State.
He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2012.
"To say we are excited to have Phil play the final Charles
Schwab Cup Playoff event at the 2021 Charles Schwab Cup
Championship is an understatement," executive director Tiffany
Nelson said. "We are thrilled to have Phil participate in one of
his hometown events and feel the tremendous support from our
fans, which we know will create an incredible environment for
all."
The top 35 players in the Charles Schwab Cup standings will
compete in the third and final Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs event
at Phoenix Country Club. Mickelson is No. 26.
