Mickelson, PGA West's Stadium Course Back After Long Layoffs

Phil Mickelson is back after a long layoff. So is PGA West's TPC Stadium Course.

The 45-year-old Mickelson is making his first start since the Presidents Cup in October, while the Stadium Course is back in the CareerBuilder Challenge rotation after nearly 30 years.

Mickelson also is playing for the first time since splitting with swing coach Butch Harmon to work with Andrew Getson. The 2002 and 2004 champion is winless since the 2013 British Open.

But it wasn’t until last year, at the age of 32, that the Italian finally played in the annual PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament in the Coachella Valley.

Dufner wins CareerBuilder Challenge in playoff

Jason Dufner made two great escapes. The first, from Alcatraz, no less.

David Lingmerth got no such reprieve at PGA West's punishing TPC Stadium Course.

Dufner won the CareerBuilder Challenge in partnership with the Clinton Foundation with a par on the second hole of a playoff Sunday, taking advantage of Lingmerth's shot that bounced off the jagged rocks and into the water.
