Mickelson's lawyer says he resigned from country club after misconduct allegations
A lawyer said Mickelson resigned after a club investigation into allegations that he made inappropriate physical contact with a female employee.
- Phil Mickelson resigned from The Farms Country Club near San Diego following allegations of inappropriate contact with a female employee, a lawyer for the golfer confirmed.
- Management asked Mickelson to leave the course during his round last week after a staff member reported he approached her in the clubhouse and made nonconsensual physical contact.
- The club conducted an independent investigation into the incident, while a spokesperson for the golfer stated in response to Golf Digest that "any misunderstanding has been cleared up."
- Mickelson has withdrawn from the Masters and PGA Championship this year, citing family health matters, and is no longer eligible to compete in the U.S. Open this weekend.
- The golfer became the oldest major champion in 2021, but this incident follows a turbulent period that included helping launch Saudi-funded LIV Golf and losing sponsorships in 2022.
