Phil Mickelson will miss this week's LIV Golf Virginia tournament and his status for next week's PGA Championship is uncertain, according to multiple reports on Tuesday.

The six-time major winner has only participated in one event on the 2026 LIV Golf schedule due to a family health matter.

Mickelson, 55, finished T48 at LIV Golf 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.

As a two-time winner, Mickelson has a lifetime exemption into the PGA Championship. This year's tournament will be held from May 14-17 at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa.
