Phil Mickelson has played exactly one competitive event in 2026 — a tied for forty-eighth finish at LIV Golf South Africa in March. Since then, nothing. He has missed the Masters Tournament, the PGA Championship, the United States Open and the Open Championship, the first time in his career he has sat out all four majors in a single season. This week he is listed as withdrawn from LIV Golf United Kingdom at JCB Golf and Country Club, with wildcard Scott Vincent filling his roster spot again.
In this video we break down the full timeline: the February statement citing a family health matter, the repeated replacements at HyFlyers Golf Club, the relegation math threatening his full-time status, the Golf Digest and Skratch reports, and the responses from his representatives and legal team.
All misconduct claims discussed are allegations. Phil Mickelson denies some and has retained defamation counsel.
