By Thomson Reuters May 5, 2026 | 10:09 AM

Phil Mickelson will miss this week’s LIV Golf Virginia tournament and next week’s PGA ​Championship as he continues to ‌deal with a family health matter.

The six-time major winner was listed in the 154-field released Tuesday for the ‌May ​14-17 PGA Championship, ⁠but he told Flushing ⁠It Golf he will not participate at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa.

“I wish I ​could. I can’t unfortunately,” Mickelson said in an exchange ⁠of messages with ⁠the media outlet. “I’m hoping to ​play the rest of the year ​after that, but I honestly ‌don’t know.”

The PGA Championship’s X account announced Max Homa was replacing Mickelson in the tournament.

Mickelson, 55, ⁠has only participated in one event on the 2026 LIV Golf schedule. He ⁠finished T48 ‌in South Africa in ⁠March before missing last ​month’s ‌Masters, where he is ​a three-time ⁠champion.

Scott Vincent will replace the HyFlyers GC captain for this week’s LIV Golf tournament at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C.
