Phil Mickelson will end the longest active run of 61 majors played so he can be with his wife Amy Mickelson as she starts her recovery from breast cancer.
Mickelson released a statement on his website expressing “But I’ve always said family is my No. 1 priority. For that reason, I won’t be playing the British Open at Turnberry next week.”
Not much was revealed about how the surgery went but he did say “It’s a trying time for us as we await more test results, but we have excellent medical attention and care,” and “We’ve received wonderful support from so many people, many of whom have gone through the same battle, and we’re optimistic, as always.”
After Mickelson missed the 1994 Masters when he broke his leg in a skiing accident he has competed in every major since the 94 U.S. Open.
Can you guess who holds the record for the most consecutive majors won? From 1962 to 1998 Jack Nicklaus holds the title of 146.
