Lefty being PGA golfer Phil Mickelson, who won't play on the tour for an indefinite period of time for a very good reason: his wife has breast cancer.
Good for Phil! Evidently, family comes first. Now, he has the luxury of having enough money in the bank to take a lot of time off, but that's hardly the point here. The point is: Phil loves playing golf, gets paid ka-jillions to do it, has sponsors paying him ka-jillions for him to to it, but he'll forgo all of that so he can be with his life partner! I think that says a lot about the character of the guy. There's always another golf tournament, but if you're committed to your marraige--to your spouse--the one you took vows in the presence of God and your closest friends--putting her first is just the right thing to do. We need more of this from the prominent people in our society (we also need it from the not-so-prominent!).
