LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) -- Phil Mickelson is back after a long layoff. So is PGA West's TPC Stadium Course.
The 45-year-old Mickelson is making his first start since the Presidents Cup in October, while the Stadium Course is back in the CareerBuilder Challenge rotation after nearly 30 years.
Mickelson also is playing for the first time since splitting with swing coach Butch Harmon to work with Andrew Getson. The 2002 and 2004 champion is winless since the 2013 British Open.
''My last two years have been disappointing to me,'' Mickelson said in a story posted by sponsor KPMG.
