Phil Mickelson has played just once in 2026

Six-time major winner Phil Mickelson has withdrawn from next week's PGA Championship because of "a personal health matter with his family", organisers have said.

The 55-year-old American also missed last month's Masters, saying at the time he would be out for an "extended period of time as my family continues to navigate a personal health matter".

Mickelson, winner of the PGA Championship in 2005 and 2021, had been listed among the 154-strong field released on Tuesday for the tournament at Aronimink Golf Club in Newton Square, Pennsylvania from 14-17 May.

But his withdrawal was announced later in the day, with fellow American Max Homa replacing him.
