Steve Politi: "The woman he met as senior at Arizona State, the one who was totally unimpressed with his chosen profession, has been with him every step of the way. He charmed fans on the course with his let-it-rip style and willingness to sign autographs for an hour, and she won them over behind the ropes with her smile and disarming personality."

Phil: "She [Amy] touches people in a way that people don't get touched. It's just right to the heart. She has a way to have an impact on people, the way she looks you in the eye, the way she listens to what you have to say, and genuinely cares. She has a quality about her that not many people have."

Phil: "I know how lucky I am to be able to be married to her [Amy] because I see it every day. She's like that every day. We've been together 16 years and I am so lucky to be married to her. She has made my life so fulfilling and enriching."

Christine Brennan: "As the dominoes kept falling, there was the sports news that Amy's husband has indefinitely suspended his PGA Tour schedule to be with his wife. Phil won't defend his Colonial title next week, and there's no certainty he'll be at Bethpage Black next month for the U.S. Open, where he would be the overwhelming crowd favorite. Not only was Phil's decision totally expected, it also was reassuring, for it confirms how intertwined the Phil-Amy relationship is with Phil's own beloved relationship with the game of golf ... Where Phil goes, Amy goes. And vice versa."

Michael Fricke: "Amy has been one of the most visible wives on the PGA Tour. A former Phoenix Suns cheerleader, she has been seen on countless occasions as the first (save Bones) to congratulate Phil on a victory, or console him in defeat. Amy and the Mickelson children have reminded us on more than one occasion of the overwhelming power of family ... Now Phil, who has always had his priorities straight, is playing the supporting role to Amy, both literally and figuratively. Without entertaining any doubt he has chosen to man-up and fulfill his role in his and Amy’s marriage. There is little doubt that his family is the one thing he takes more serious than the game of golf."

Michael Whitmer: "Amy Mickelson, 37, is one of the most visible wives on tour, frequently seen following play from the gallery and greeting her husband, with the children racing in front of her, after another tournament win."

Amy: "When we're lying in bed and talking, I'll say, 'Honey, I know this is the day, this is the year.' I think I've been saying that to him [Phil] every day since the day we met. I obviously believe in him and what he can do ... Of course, I've always thought he was wonderful. It's really special when other people see what you see."
