Phil Mickelson will play in this year's Travelers Championship, the tournament announced Thursday.
Mickelson is a two-time champion at the tournament at the TPC at River Highlands in Cromwell.
Last month, Mickelson became the oldest winner ever of a major championship when he won the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island, South Carolina.
"Phil has cemented his place among the very best to ever play the game of golf, and we are excited to have him join us this year," said Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube. "He’s been a fan favorite around the world for decades, winning every step of the way and thrilling spectators with his play and accomplishments. This is fantastic news for this year’s tournament."
