Phil Mickelson won't discuss 'PGA Tour issues' as LIV debut nears

HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, England -- Phil Mickelson, making his first public appearance since February, would neither confirm nor deny that he has been suspended or banned by the PGA Tour for joining the rival LIV Golf tour.

"I choose not to speak publicly on PGA Tour issues at this time," Mickelson said Wednesday morning.

Mickelson emphasized several times that he is sorry for recent controversial comments that led to his decision to take time away from golf, including his decision not to defend his PGA Championship last month.

"I've said and done a lot of things that I regret," Mickelson said.
