"It is always disappointing when the defending champion is not here," said Woods on Tuesday (local time) in Tulsa in the US state of Oklahoma. "Phil said a few things against which many of us have defended themselves against the tour and legacy of the tour," added Woods.
The 51-year-old Mickelson had canceled his participation in the second major tournament of the year and thus extended his golf time. The Californian recently made the newly created LIV Golf Invitational Series advances financed from Saudi Arabia. He had criticized the PGA Tour for too little change and accused it, among other things, "disgusting greed".
I believe in comparisons with historical personalities of the past.

"I understand different points of view, but I believe in a legacy. I believe in major tournaments. I believe in comparisons with historical personalities of the past," said Woods. "There is a lot of money outside. The tour grows. But as with any other sport, it is also: you have to go out there and earn it."
Woods dares to win
After his serious car accident at the Masters, Woods celebrated a cheered comeback in April. The 15-time major winner sees himself on the right track and is now even familiar with the victory in the Southern Hills Country Club. "I have the feeling that I can definitely," said Woods, who won the PGA Championship in Tulsa in 2007. His body is better than at his last tournament. "I just have to go out and do it. I have to do my work."
