Mickelson will compete in Singapore this week for the sixth year in a row and enjoys his annual opportunity to revisit Asia at this time of year. With the HSBC Champions event having been upgraded to become an official part of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup schedule from next year, the left-hander is hopeful officials will look to incorporate more Asian events on to the calendar given that the region is such a growth area for the sport. "I've been playing here (Singapore) for the past six years now and I plan to continue to play and having a presence in some of the top Asian tournaments," he added. "It's great that tournaments in Asia are part of the FedEx Cup... I'm hopeful that at some point, the US Tour can maybe have three or five events over here."
