Phil Mickelson is a household name in the golf world. His accomplishments are legendary and he doesn’t hold back his enthusiasm and sass. What’s not to love? No wonder he is the darling of the golf community.

Meanwhile, not much is known about his personal life. Did you know the 45-time winner on the PGA Tour is as devoted a husband and a father as he is a golfer? Let’s see all there to know about his family.

He was born in San Diego in 1970 and attended Arizona State University. This is where he met Amy in 1992, who was on the cheerleading squad for the Phoenix Suns NBA team.

Phil and Amy Mickelson, nee McBride, tied the knot in 1996 and have been going strong ever since. Tragically, in 2009, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her loving husband Phil backed out of his upcoming events and put his season on hold in order to care for her. Luckily, after 11 months of treatment, she beat the disease and has since been healthy.
