I am a huge fan of golf and in particular professional golfer Phil Mickelson. 1 1/2 weeks ago, Phil Mickelson announced that he would suspend the PGA tour schedule after finding out that his wife Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Support was seen everywhere. John Daly wore pink pants in the final round of the European tour, while Rory Sabbatini wore a pink shirt when he won the Byron Nelson Championship. The PGA Tour Wives Association asked the players and their wives to wear pink on Saturday’s Colonial Tournament for a “Pink out” to show support. Golfers such as Ian Poulter and Rocco Mediate, and virtually everyone associated with the Colonial wore pink to raise awareness of breast cancer.
Phil Mickelson wrote “When we heard about the Tour Wives, PGA Tour and the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial organizing the ‘Pink Out,’ we both had tears rolling down our faces. This is such an incredibly thoughtful gesture, not only for Amy, but for the 200,000 women who are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Amy is such a supportive and loving life partner. She has always put me and our family first. Now it’s time for her and her health to come first as we face this challenge together.â€
This blog is dedicated to his wife and the many people who are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. I send my deepest support for a full and speedy recovery.
