Phil Mickelson to miss Masters over personal health matter
April 2, 2026 - 21:33
In a surprising announcement, legendary golfer Phil Mickelson has confirmed he will not compete in next week's Masters Tournament. The six-time major champion stated he will be sidelined from professional golf for an extended period.
Mickelson cited the need to support his family as they navigate an ongoing personal health matter. The brief statement did not provide specific details but emphasized his priority is being with his loved ones during this time.
His withdrawal marks a significant absence from the year's first major championship, an event where he has enjoyed historic success. Mickelson is a three-time Masters champion, with his iconic 2004 and 2006 victories cementing his status as a fan favorite at Augusta National. His most recent major triumph came at the 2021 PGA Championship, where he became the oldest major winner in history at age 50.
The golf community now awaits further updates on Mickelson's timeline for a potential return to competition, as the sport prepares for its first major of the season without one of its most celebrated figures.
