Phil Mickelson missed The Masters earlier in April and he's been surrounded by controversy in recent months regarding his flirtatious courting with the LIV Golf Invitational Series. Mickelson's golf future has remained a mystery, but on Monday, Phil provided some clarity…but not a whole lot.

According to Mickelson's agent, Phil's registered for the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open. However, the defending PGA Championship winner also requested release from the Tour for a weekend in June so he can participate in LIV Golf's opening event.

Mickelson's team remained non-committal, however. In a statement, Phil's agent Steve Loy said Mickelson has “no concrete plans” for which events he will play.

Scheduled for June 9-11, the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational in London coincides with the RBC Canadian Open. That means any Tour players hoping to play in England must obtain a release from the PGA. Mickleson's prospects for obtaining said release seem slim. Last year, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said he would suspend or even permanently ban players who participate in the LIV Golf series.

LIV Golf is a newly-formed professional tour financed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. Mickelson told author Alan Shipnuck he helped form the league. But in that same excerpt taken from Shipnuck's upcoming, unauthorized biography of Phil, Mickelson refers to the Saudi's involved in the league as “scary mother*******,” before adding he would look past the country's history of human rights' violations to gain leverage with the PGA Tour. That landed Mickelson in some hot water with other PGA Tour stars.

With the PGA Championship set for May, and the U.S. Open scheduled for June, we'll have more concrete answers on Mickelson's plans in the coming weeks. But as of now, it looks as if Phil may try to double dip.
