Mickelson withdraws from PGA Championship for family health reasons
- On Tuesday, six-time major champion Phil Mickelson withdrew from next week's PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club, citing a personal health matter with his family.
- Mickelson previously missed last month's Masters and the first four events of the 2026 LIV Golf season due to the same family health matter before recently returning in South Africa.
- American Max Homa, the first alternate, will replace the 55-year-old left-hander in the field at Aronimink Golf Club for the year's second major tournament.
- "I can't unfortunately," Mickelson told Flushing Golf on Tuesday, expressing hope to play the rest of the year following his withdrawal from the championship.
- Mickelson became the oldest men's major winner at 50 when he clinched the 2021 PGA Championship and has won six major titles including the British Open and Masters throughout his career.
