Amy, his wife, was diagnosed with breast cancer and he's stepping away for a bit.
Hope they caught it in time and his wife is able to kick it off 100.

My prayers go out to him, his wife, and the family.
Hope is time away isn't too long...

I hate to hear this. I wish Phil, Amy and the kids all the best during her treatment and hopeful recovery.

On this note a co worker and I were talking this morning about this damn disease and how it knows no predjudice. It strikes any race, any age, any gender, rich, poor. It just doesn't matter. It's just a terrible terrible disease.

Wow thanks for letting us know.

Wow this is terrible news! My prayers go out to him and his family as well. Hopefully they caught it soon enough. Just another example of how life is much bigger than this wonderful game of golf we all get to play. Hope everyone else will keep them in their prayers as well.

Dear Phil and Amy,
Please know that our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. In this trying time, know that you have the love and support of all of your fans. May you find strength in this support and may health and life be the final outcome.
Yours always,
Walter

Phil Mickelson has suspended his PGA Tour schedule indefinitely after his wife, Amy, was diagnosed with breast cancer, the agency representing him announced Wednesday.

According to the release from Gaylord Sports Management, Amy Mickelson's treatment process is expected to begin with major surgery, possibly within the next two weeks. More tests are scheduled, according to the release.

Mickelson was scheduled to play the HP Byron Nelson Championship beginning Thursday and defend his Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial title next week.

Sometimes we forget that life is much harder than golf, don't we?

All our best thoughts and prayers to Phil and his family.

PS One of our own here on GolfWRX is facing his own challenges due to cancer. Read his thread. It is a real gut wrencher.

As much as you like or dislike someone you never want something like this to happen to them. I hope it is cured and they can move forward with there life.

Sending healing and peaceful thoughts to Amy and everyone who cares about her.

Prayers and support for the Mickelson family.

Awww, sh!t.......let's remember Amy & the Mickelson's in our prayers.

Many prayers sent!

Best wishes to Amy, a very sweet soul.

Prayers to Amy and Phil.

If you have ever gone through this with your own family, as I have.....news about someone facing this issue makes you step back for a moment and reflect about your own life, the little things you take for granted, friends and loved ones.
Sometimes the "big issues" in our lives really aren't that big at all.

i hope she is able to win the fight

My prayers go out for Phil and Amy. I hope they can face this head on and beat a horrible disease.

Hopes and prayers to their whole family. Golf seems pretty small in comparison, no doubt.

Wow. That's terrible news. I wish Amy and the rest of the clan the best of luck. Phil definitely chose correctly to take a leave, as I am sure just about everyone else would.

My heart goes out to the Mickelsons, I wish them the best.

Very sad to hear, I hope her treatment goes well.

My wife and I met Amy at Fashion Valley in SD a couple of years ago during our Christmas shopping. She was quite friendly and down to earth. I remembered her saying "Phil is home. He couldn't miss the Charger's game." My prayers and best wishes to the Mickelsons.

Pink golf balls all around... we all need to fight this fight.

Best wishes to the Amy and the rest of the Mickelson family.

+2. I could not have said it better.

Phil,

May you find strength in the Lord and support from those closest to you. God Bless and we'll see you again when you and your family are ready.

+3. I read that thread, too, and it's just something else. Thoughts and prayers going out to both families.

Prayers out to his family... sure hope they caught it in time.

Bottom line: Cancer is s***!

God Bless You Phil and Amy during your fight.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Mickelson family.

Prayers for Amy and Phil.

As always golf is a distant priority to things like Faith, Health, Family and Friends.

A tough reminder to us all not to take them for granted.

All the best to Phil and Amy

this is pretty shocking....just saw the updates on the golf channel...thoughts are with you phil and amy

When I heard about it, I almost couldn't believe it. I hope everything works out for them.

All the best to Amy and Phil. Cancer is a terrible disease, personally I have had far to many friends and family members affected by it. I wear a Livestrong bracelet to show my support for anyone battling it. Hopefully more and more people will choose to, as the money raised by that foundation alone, makes a tremendous difference.

I'm not a Phil fan, but I am a fan of life and those who can beat this bugger we call cancer. So I wish nothing but the best for Amy and her family.

Amy does a TON for charity, and I hope she beats this thing and can be back to doing what she does so well, helping others.

Mickelsons, our prayers are with you!

MY prayers are with his family during this time of need.


Be with your wife Phil, the tour can wait..

Prayers and support for the Mickelson family also.

Bloody awful news. I feel very sorry for them, and indeed the many thousands of other families around the world that have to deal with shattering news like this everyday.

Best wishes to them all and fingers crossed she beats this horrible disease. Stuff like this certainly puts golf into perspective.

My prayers go out to Amy for a full and speedy recovery.

That would be awesome if some of the players used Pink Golf balls during a Thursday - Friday rounds to show support.

My neighbor is battling the same thing. It's really taken a toll on her and I hope Amy doesn't have to go through the same things she is.

I wish her a quick and hopefully painless recovery.

To the Mickelson Family and all the families fighting this terrible disease our thoughts and prayers are with you every minute of every day. God Bless

Wonder what that SOB Steve Williams has to say now.

^ well said paddy.

my thoughts and prayers go out to the mickelson family and to those fighting against this desease aswell. keep positive, it will help a whole lot!

Well, cnosidering he never said anything against Amy, I'm sure he shares the same somber sentiment. This isn't about Steve Williams... Get well Amy. Use up Phil's money and get the very best treament money can buy...You are in my prayers.

I heard this terrible news today while driving from one town to another on my job. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to Amy and Phil and all of their family.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Mickelsons. I just brought my wife home from her second surgery for Breast Cancer. She is determined to be a survivor, and we both pray that Amy will beat this disease as well.

Hang tough, Amy and Phil!!!!

My prayers go out to the family, I'm in the same situation as my wife has just had a Biopsy to determine if she has Cervical Cancer, just awaiting results. She's only 28.
Very Very hard to deal with at present.

Once again, thoughts and prayers to the Mickelson family and any other family affected by this awful disease. Like mentioned above, hopefully they caught it in time for her to beat this so that she can get the treatment over with and enjoy the rest of her years with her family.
