But there are still questions about their participation.

Additionally, he is still registered for the first LIV Tour competition in London on June 9-11.
According to AFP, Phil Mickelson will be in ongoing talks with the PGA regarding the game’s schedule.

Woods is still in pain

– It hurts so much when I start a run, but then when it’s hot it goes well and I get some good punches. “Then the stamina runs out and I hit some ugly punches,” Woods, who ranked 47th, told Sky Sports.
In the same interview, the 46-year-old said that despite the pain, he is seeking matches in major competitions, including the British Open in St Andrews in July.
