Jack and Barbara Nicklaus
(on the news Amy Mickelson has been diagnosed with breast cancer)

JACK:

“Obviously, Barbara and I are very sorry to hear about Amy. We have had the fortunate pleasure to work with Amy and Phil on four Presidents Cup teams and be around them for a number of other tournaments. We see Amy as this vibrant, bubbly mother of three who is tremendously devoted to her husband and family. No one, especially Amy, deserves to have to face the battle that accompanies cancer, but we know that Amy has this amazing inner strength and spirit, and with Phil's unwavering love and support, they will fight and overcome this. For now, Barbara and I wish her the best and pass along our most heartfelt hopes for a speedy recovery. Amy will be in our continued thoughts and prayers.”

BARBARA:

“From when Amy first came on Tour, she has been one of my favorites. I was always so happy when Amy and Phil were a part of our Presidents Cup teams. She was the wife I went to for advice. She is always so supportive. Amy is just one of those people who simply wants to help other people; now we need to help her.”
