Phil Mickelson withdrew from the Masters after a disappointing week.

Phil Mickelson was one of the most anticipated players at this year’s Masters, but the 48-year-old golfer withdrew from the tournament after a disappointing first two rounds. Mickelson was ranked number one in the world when he won his first green jacket in 2004, and many people were expecting him to win again. But with his wife Amy battling breast cancer, Phil decided to skip the tournament to be with her. The pair got married in 2013 and have three children together.

Why is Phil not playing in the Masters?

Phil Mickelson’s wife Amy has been battling breast cancer since 2018. She had a double mastectomy last year and underwent chemotherapy before being declared cancer free. However, she recently learned that her cancer had returned and is currently undergoing treatment for it.
