In first LIV presser, Phil Mickelson declines to discuss 'PGA Tour issues'

Phil Mickelson declined to say Wednesday whether he has been suspended or banned by the PGA Tour and emphasized that he does not condone human-rights violations in Saudi Arabia.

Speaking at his introductory news conference at the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series event outside London, Mickelson said he didn’t want to discuss any PGA Tour-related issues and that he was sorry for his comments earlier this year that led him to take an extended break from the game.

“I’ve said and done a lot of things that I regret,” Mickelson told reporters at the Centurion Club in his first public comments since February.
