Where is Amy Mickelson? Is Phil Mickelson’s Wife Not in Tune With His Drastic $200M LIV Golf Switch? Unravelling the Mystery

If there is one thing other than the competition that the sports world proudly embraces is family! Athletes are mostly out of their homes to compete in various tournaments and spend a lot of time away from their families. In a way, their fellow players become their unsaid family. A golfer or any other sportsman requires the strength and support of his or her family when they are competing in tough tournaments. Usually, fans get to see partners, kids, parents, and siblings of golfers outside of the ropes, supporting them, but there are times when a golfer’s family is not able to make it to the tournament’s venue for any reason!

But if there is one golfer whose family has barely made any appearance in the past two years on the course is veteran, Phil Mickelson. This raises a lot of questions as to what the reason might be that fans have not seen Amy Mickelson on the course. Does she not like her husband’s decision? Does she have anything against LIV Golf?

In 2022, Phil Mickelson announced that he was leaving behind his PGA Tour legacy to move to LIV Golf, a Saudi-funded backway league. Although the move was criticized a lot amongst the golf fraternity, the contract worth $200 million might have just cooled down some of the burns that he would have experienced.

If reports are to be believed, Mickelson received half of his contract money upfront. Mickelson was one of the biggest fishes that the former rival tour had captured, and his exit from the PGA Tour was a big shock. Before the switch, in 2021, Phil Mickelson was the proud vice-captain of the USA Ryder Cup, and he looked delighted to be there with all of his compatriots, and his beloved wife, Amy.

Although the 6X Major champion’s bank account got tremendously richer than before, his journey in the league has not been very pleasant. Not that he has had any feud with any LIV mates unlike Brooks Koepka, but his dearest wife seems not to be on board with the move since she has not made an appearance in any of the events so far in its two seasons.
