Phil Mickelson Misses Majors Amid Health Crisis

Phil Mickelson will miss all four majors for the first time in his career. The latest setback comes amid allegations of misconduct and an ongoing health crisis within his family.

Mickelson's name was removed from the Open Championship field, the latest tournament he has missed amid a long absence.

Golf Digest reported that Mickelson had an opportunity to compete at the Open Championship despite his severed relationship with the PGA Tour after leaving for LIV.

Many of Mickelson's personal relationships have been damaged beyond repair, Shipnuck reported.

He and his caddie of 25 years, Bones Mackay, had once seemed like brothers but they no longer speak.

Mickelson last missed the Open Championship 17 years ago, when he was tending to another serious health crisis in his family.

This will be the first time Mickelson has missed the Open since 2009, when he pulled out of the event to be with Amy during cancer treatments.
