At 55, Phil Mickelson has played just one competitive event in 2026 — a tie for 48th at LIV Golf South Africa in March — and missed all four major championships in a single season for the first time in his career. This is the full, sourced timeline of his disappearance from professional golf.
We cover his February statement citing a family health matter, his Masters Tournament withdrawal on April 2, his pulled PGA Championship entry at Aronimink, the expired US Open exemption, and his Open Championship withdrawal at Royal Birkdale.
We also cover the reported allegations from Golf Digest and Skratch — which Phil Mickelson strongly denies and which have produced no charges — including the disputed video claim from attorney Tom Clare, plus LIV Golf’s funding crisis and what teammate Brendan Steele actually said at Trump National Bedminster.
Every claim is attributed. Nothing here is speculation.
