The six-time major champion is expected to return next week for LIV Golf’s second tournament, Ollie Schniederjans will replace him in Saudi Arabia.

This adjustment in his plans brings Ollie Schniederjans in as his replacement. Schniederjans, who recently claimed victory on the Asian Tour—his first in nine years—has been selected to fill Mickelson's spot in the Saudi Arabia event.

Phil Mickelson suffered a minor shoulder injury during a workout in the gym and will miss the LIV Golf season opener in Saudi Arabia this week.
