 Mickelson was roared on by a sympathetic crowd at the US Open |
Phil Mickelson will make his return to golf at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio next week.
Mickelson has not played since coming second at the US Open in June after taking time off to be with his wife and mother who both have breast cancer.
Amy Mickelson underwent surgery in Houston on 1 July, while Mickelson's mother Mary was operated on 10 days later at the same hospital.
His decision suggests he will also play the following week in the USPGA.
The world number two, who missed the Open at Turnberry earlier this month, has only played twice since he announced on 20 May that his wife had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
He finished tied 59th at the St Jude Classic but missed out on winning the US Open by two shots, finishing second alongside fellow Americans David Duval and Ricky Barnes behind winner Lucas Glover at Bethpage.
Earlier this season, Mickelson won the Northern Trust Open and the World Golf Championships-CA Championship.
The three-time major winner has competed in all 10 previous Bridgestone Invitationals. His best finish came in 1999 when he tied for second.
The USPGA Championship, the year's final major, takes place at Hazeltine, Minnesota, from 13-16 August.
