Amen to that. I met Phil in CA when he played in our group in a pro-am. Wonderful guy. My best wishes to the Mickelson family at this sad time with prayers for a speedy recovery for Mrs. Mickelson.

Glad to see Mr Mickelson do the right thing. As a current breast cancer fighter, I know first hand how hard this battle can be and can't imagine doing it with three kids. My thoughts and prayers are with this family.

Can't add anymore then has already been said,
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

They have wonderful treatments today for many types of Breast Cancer, but the support of a loving family is still the most important factor and the Mickelson's seem to have that covered.

I was so sad to hear about this. That family has already been through a major health scare when their third child was born. I hope that Amy recovers quickly and Phil can get back to the course, but until then he has absolutely made the right decision to support her during this time.

Prayers and best wishes to Phil, Amy and their family. They have come along way in treating this cancer. I lost my mother twenty three years ago from breast cancer. Back then there wasn't much they could do for her. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

#15 you truly have a front seat in hell waiting for you! This should be about offering support to another family affected by this horrible disease. You probably have never watched a loved one in the fight of their life. I have lost both parents and my oldest sister to the ravages of this hideous disease and negative crap like yours is certainly not welcome or necessary. My thoughts and prayers are with you Amy, Phil and family

My wife is a BC survivor and she's doing great now. Obviously there are a few types and I pray she has a more treatable one.
It's great that Phil has the resources to stop his career and support his wife. He'll reap dividends for that in all aspects of his and their lives.

Phil and Family, I can't begin to imagine what you're going through at this time, but just know that my husband's and my thoughts and prayers are with you through this trouble time. Phil you have pulled off some amazing wins in your career and I'm sure Amy will do the same. May god be with you and your children every step of the way. What a wonderful husband and father you are Phil, god bless you!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, I am a Breast Cancer survivor and I went through all the treatments, after I had them both removed, the doctors have told me that is what saved my life, and after 6 surgerys you would never know I went through it.
God Bless

Amy & the children have always been more important to Lefty than winning.
It makes me so sad to know that he is not smiling at this terrible time for the family.

Praying for you in Indiana!
