Phil Mickelson has always received support and love from his wife, Amy Mickelson, throughout his professional golf career. The couple, together for more than three decades, has faced numerous challenges, including Amy’s breast cancer diagnosis, her struggle, and recovery.
Below you will learn about Phil’s wife, Amy, their marriage, and her past experience battling breast cancer.
Amy is primarily known as Phil’s wife, but before that, she was a cheerleader for the Phoenix Suns and graduated from Arizona State University.
After overcoming breast cancer in 2010, Amy became an advocate for the rights of other survivors and cancer victims.
Phil and Amy first met in college at Arizona State University in 1992. Falling in love, the couple became inseparable, and Amy stayed by Phil’s side as he became a professional golfer.
Yes, Phil and Amy are still married. They tied the knot in November 1996, about four years after their first meeting at ASU.
Yes, Phil and Amy have three children: Amanda Brynn, Sophia Isabel, and Evan Samuel.
In 2009, Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer, and Phil paused his golf career. At that time, the golf world sent its prayers and well wishes to the Mickelson family, including Henry Hughes, the president of The Players Championship.
«It's always hard to hear news like this, especially when it involves someone young and vibrant who does so much for others through the charities she and Phil are involved with», - Henry said at the time, adding, «But I’m sure Amy is in good hands, and she has our support and prayers».
Fortunately, Amy beat breast cancer and was on the road to recovery by 2010. She fought the illness for less than a year and was declared cancer-free.
However, as of 2026, the Mickelsons are facing another «family health issue», - Phil’s representative told Golf Digest. Phil also announced in a previous Instagram post that he «will not be able to participate in the first two LIV tournaments as Amy and I need to be there to address a family health issue». He added in his post, «I can’t wait to compete again and look forward to returning to my teammates as soon as possible».
It remains unclear who in the Mickelson family is facing health issues
