Until Wednesday, the biggest name committed to the Safeway Open in October was five-time major winner Phil Mickelson. Then Tiger Woods decided to announce his intention to play in the PGA Tour season opener two weeks after the Ryder Cup.
Now, Mickelson is hoping to join Woods in what will be the marquee grouping for the first two days at Silverado Resort in Napa, Calif.
“I think it’s great; I don’t know the state of his health. I haven’t seen him,” Mickelson said Wednesday after the BMW Championship pro-am, according to ESPN. “I’m looking forward to spending time with him at the Ryder Cup. I think that’ll be great motivation for him. Plus, he’ll have a week off.
