Mickelson leaves tour

Bad news for Phil, his wife has cancer. For the little bit of golf I watch, Mickelson's been a favorite - best wishes for his family.

Yeah, sad to hear that. I'm sure they will fight aggressively and be big proponents of breast cancer research. Best wishes for the Mickelson family.

my prayers go out to Phil and his family, I have watched two teachers in my building battle breast cancer along with our current superintendenet, battling it as we speak.

Mickelson isn't my favorite player on the tour, but I do enjoy watching him play. This is sad news. Hopefully, they have caught it early enough, and she will recover. It sounds like there are other golf wives who have battled this disease, and will be there as a support system.

I certainly hope they have caught it in time, and can handle it quickly with the least amount of invasive work. The stronger she can be through this the better. My mother passed away from Cancer (not breast cancer, but cancer nonetheless) and it is definitely not pretty and I would not wish that disease on anyone..

Prayers and thoughts go out for support and a solid recovery and for the doctors and specialists who will work with her.
