Mickelson Misses All 4 Majors for First Time Since 1990
30 Jun
Summary
- Phil Mickelson will not compete in The Open Championship.
- This marks the first time Mickelson missed all majors since 1990.
- Family health matters cited for his absence from golf.
Phil Mickelson, 56, will not compete in The Open Championship scheduled for July 16-19 at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England. This decision means he will miss all four major golf tournaments in 2026, a rare occurrence not seen since 1990. Mickelson, a six-time major winner, earned a lifetime exemption into The Open Championship after his 2013 victory, allowing him to play until age 60.
Mickelson's absence from the majors this year stems from an unspecified family health matter that has kept him from competing in most of his scheduled events. He has participated in only one LIV Golf tournament so far in 2026. Reports have also surfaced regarding incidents of Mickelson making unwanted advances, and his departure from three golf clubs in the San Diego area.
