Phil Mickelson concerns grow after continuing LIV | Golf News

Fans have expressed their concerns for Phil Mickelson and his family members after it was confirmed he’ll miss his fourth straight LIV Golf event.

No additional particulars have been shared on Mickelson’s circumstances since he told followers: “I will not be able to participate in the first two LIV events as Amy and I need to be present for a family health matter.

“I can’t wait to compete again and look forward to rejoining my teammates as soon as possible. In the meantime, Ollie Schniederjans will step in for me in Riyadh as I root on HyFlyers GC from afar.”

Schniederjans stuffed in for Mickelson in the Middle East, and Lefty’s spot has since been occupied by Wade Ormsby.

Mickelson’s HyFlyer’s crew confirmed on Tuesday that Ormsby will once again stand in for the captain when play begins at Sentosa Golf Club on Thursday.

After play concludes in Singapore on Sunday, LIV’s gamers will jet to South Africa for a match that begins in just eight days, which means time shouldn’t be on Mickelson’s aspect if he hopes to tee it up in Johannesburg.

Mickelson’s continued absence has been a source of concern for followers. One wrote: “Praying for Phil and his family.”

A second added: “The first four events, concerning for Phil and his family. Hope everything is OK,” and a third said: “I’m a diehard Phil fan. I hope and pray all is well with him and his family.”

Mickelson’s household must take precedence, but when the time comes for him to return to golf, his absence will go away him in a problematic scenario.

His LIV Golf rivals have gained a four-event head start on him, and with at least 9 gamers being relegated this season, he might face an uphill battle to keep his spot on the league for 2027.

The event in South Africa is also the last match on his schedule before the Masters, and his lack of aggressive reps forward of the first major of the yr is much from excellent.
