Phil Mickelson will miss this week's LIV Golf Virginia tournament and next week's PGA Championship as he continues to deal with a family health matter.

The six-time major winner was listed in the 154-field released Tuesday for the May 14-17 PGA Championship, but he told Flushing It Golf he will not participate at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa.

"I wish I could. I can't unfortunately," Mickelson said in an exchange of messages with the media outlet. "I'm hoping to play the rest of the year after that, but I honestly don't know."

Mickelson, 55, has only participated in one event on the 2026 LIV Golf schedule. He finished T48 in South Africa in March before missing last month's Masters, where he is a three-time champion.

Scott Vincent will replace the HyFlyers GC captain for this week's LIV Golf tournament at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C.
