CARMEL, Ind. -- The man who has been most closely tied to Tiger Woods as a rival over the past two decades was thrilled to hear Wednesday that Woods is hoping to return to competitive golf next month.Phil Mickelson wasnt aware of Woods announcement until told during the BMW Championship pro-am at Crooked Stick Golf Club.Woods announced Wednesday that he hopes to return at the Safeway Open in Napa, California, which is two weeks after the Ryder Cup. Mickelson is also playing the Safeway tournament, which is the first event of the PGA Tours 2016-17 season. Additionally, Woods said he hopes to play a European Tour event in Turkey as well as the Hero World Challenge before the end of the year.I think its great; I dont know the state of his health. I havent seen him, Mickelson said. Im looking forward to spending time with him at the Ryder Cup. I think thatll be great motivation for him. Plus, hell have a week off.Im hoping we can get paired together (at the Safeway Open.) That would be really fun. I would love it. Its great to have him back, and hopefully hes physically able to practice the way he needs.Woods, 40, will be a vice captain for Davis Love III at Hazeltine National, site of the Ryder Cup where Mickelson, 46, will be a member of the U.S. team for the 11th consecutive time.Mickelson feels the experience will be good for Woods and likened it to what Sergio Garcia did in 2010 when he didnt make the European team but was named a vice captain by Colin Montgomerie at a time when Garcias game was in decline.Just like it did for Sergio years ago when he was a vice captain, it was kind of a motivating factor for him, Mickelson said. Hopefully itll be the same for Tiger when he comes back out.Mickelson, who finished second at The Open to Henrik Stenson in July, is ranked 13th in the world. All but nine of his 42 PGA Tour victories -- and each of his five major championships -- have come during the Woods era.Were always going to have high expectations because the guy is arguably one of the two greatest players in history, if not the greatest, said Mickelson of Woods, who has 79 PGA Tour titles, including 14 majors. Our expectations of him will always be high. It doesnt mean given all the health issues and challenges that hes faced ... it doesnt mean thats fair. Air Max 95 China Wholesale .
