Mickelson set to miss Chicago Cup leg

Phil Mickelson has delivered another big blow to the US Tour’s new FedExCup series by saying he might skip this week’s third leg in Chicago – even though he is leading.

Mickelson said after winning the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston – his first victory playing head to head with Tiger Woods – that there were some issues about the scheduling which he was not happy with and he might choose to have the week with his family instead.
