Amy Mickelson, the wife of golf legend Phil Mickelson, has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Further tests are being conducted, but Amy, 37, is expected to have surgery within the next couple of weeks.

Phil has dropped out of the H.P. Byron Nelson Championship in Dallas and has suspended his schedule indefinitely.

The couple met in Phoenix while at Arizona State University. They have three children, Amanda, 9, Sophia, 7, and Evan, 6.

Tim Finchem, commissioner of the PGA Tour, released the following statement:

“We are saddened by the news of Amy Mickelson’s diagnosis, but are hopeful that with the support of Phil and her family and friends, she will come through this difficult time. The thoughts and prayers of everyone connected with the PGA Tour are with the Mickelson family.”

Best wishes to the family. Cancer sucks.
