World number two Phil Mickelson will make his return to the PGA Tour at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational next week and has already committed to playing the final major of the year, US PGA at Hazeltine the following week.

Mickelson has not played since he tied for second place at the US Open in June having taken the last six weeks off while his wife Amy and mother Mary were treated for breast cancer.

Amy Mickelson underwent surgery in Houston on July 1st while Mickelson's mother was operated on 10 days later at the same hospital.

The left-hander missed out on winning the US Open by two shots to Lucas Glover, tying second along with compatriots David Duval and Ricky Barnes.

Mickelson did not feature in this month's British Open.
