CONFIRMED; Phil’s wife, Amy Mickelson: 5 secrets to know about her
Amy Mickelson (née McBride) is married to veteran golf pro Phil Mickelson. The couple met in college in the early ’90s and married in 1996. They have been married for over 20 years and have three children.
Amy Mickelson is a breast cancer survivor. She was diagnosed in 2009 and underwent treatment for several months. She was supported by her husband, their family and many friends from the golf world, all of whom hold Amy in high regard. On Friday, November 23, Amy will be cheering on her husband as he takes on Tiger Woods in a golf match in Las Vegas, Nevada. The two golfers will be playing for $9 million, with additional bets planned throughout the day. Amy met her current husband back in 1992, while they were still in college. Amy was a student and member of the organization at the time. Phil was senior.
When Phil told Amy that he was a professional golf course, she was not sure if he was in mind. She certainly didn’t think of him as an athlete: “When he told me he was a professional golfer, I assumed he worked in the golf course store,” she wrote in her 2004 book. She rarely knew, he would be one of the top players on the tour.
Duo. Everything worked, Phil asked Amy again, inviting her to many tournaments he played, California’s Palm Springs. She was happy to accept the invitation. At the event, Phil decides to play a joke on the new lady: he asks his caddy to give her a note that he has wrapped around his hotel keys. This is because Amy never forget.
“I didn’t understand why he gave me it, because Phil stood at the green edge (only 10 feet) with a big smile on his face. I opened the note to find my hotel room key on the ground, and the women standing around me just gasped. “Well, I got so angry, I picked up my keys and threw them at Phil as hard as I could,” Amy recalled in an interview with , a book written by her husband. The Mickelsons were married on November 16, 1996. Three years later, the first of their three children was born.
The Mickelson’s eldest daughter, Amanda, was born the day after Phil placed second in the tournament. At the time, Amy was doing her best to wait until after the U.S. Open to give birth, even though the birth would occur during Phil’s favorite event of the year.
“The moment she arrived, the moment we gave birth, Phil was there and he was the one who pulled her out and cut the umbilical cord. It was the most spiritual moment of my life so far. How Phil and I feel about having a baby when we’re with the right person: It was such an incredible time as a couple. “It was such a beautiful moment of complicity. I remember never feeling anything like that in my life,” Amy said in
