Phil Mickelson withdraws from the 2026 PGA Championship, organizers confirm. All three outlets report that the decision is linked to a “personal health” matter involving Mickelson’s family, and that he does not participate in the event as a result. The reports say he withdraws ahead of next week’s tournament, with the PGA Championship slated for early in the week following Tuesday’s announcement. The New York Post and Fox News both describe the reason as a personal health matter, while Newsweek characterizes it as personal health reasons tied to family circumstances. Fox News also notes Mickelson missed The Masters in the weeks before this withdrawal, but the cited cause for leaving the PGA Championship remains the same across sources: a personal health issue. No outlets provide additional medical details or specifics about the family situation. The withdrawals’ timing indicates Mickelson is removing himself from contention before the field is finalized and before competition begins.
