Phil Mickelson Accused of 'Nonconsensual and Inappropriate' Conduct With Woman

Pro golfer Phil Mickelson has been kicked out of a prestigious golf club after allegedly making "nonconsensual and inappropriate" contact with a club employee.

A female staff member at The Farms Golf Club, located outside of San Diego, accused Mickelson, 55, of the unwanted act before a round of golf earlier this year, according to a report published by Golf Digest on Thursday, June 11.

"Mickelson approached the female employee at the clubhouse where he made nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact with her," the report stated. "The employee rejected his advances."

After Mickelson returned to the golf course, the woman reported the incident to her supervisors. The club immediately initiated "a review and investigation" and confronted Mickelson on the course before he was finished with his round.

"Following that confrontation, he was told to vacate the premises," the report said, to which Mickelson complied.

"The Farms Golf Club is committed to maintaining a golf club environment that is safe, respectful and reflects the highest standards of conduct," the club said in a statement to Golf Digest. "All members are required to adhere to our Code of Conduct, and any allegations of misconduct are taken seriously. Following a staff member report of member misconduct, the Club provided immediate and ongoing support to the staff member, conducted a thorough independent investigation of the incident and took decisive action. This individual is no longer a member of The Farms Golf Club."

The statement continued, "The Farms conducts thorough reviews of all reported matters according to California Law and takes appropriate action when warranted, consistent with our commitment to integrity, excellence and accountability. To protect the safety and privacy of our staff and members, we are unable to speak further on this matter. We appreciate your understanding."

Multiple sources confirmed to the outlet that the individual at the center of the investigation was Mickelson.

When Mickelson was asked for comment on the report, a spokesperson for the six-time major champion refused to specifically address the allegations.

"Any misunderstanding has been cleared up," the spokesperson said. "Phil continues to attend to a family health matter and is uncertain when he will be able to return to professional golf."

Mickelson has withdrawn from multiple tournaments this year - including the Masters and PGA Championship - citing personal matters.

"Unfortunately, I will not play in the Masters Tournament next week and will be out for an extended period of time as my family continues to navigate a personal health matter," Mickelson shared via Instagram on April 2. "I have great respect for Augusta National Golf Club and it is definitely the most special week of the year."

Phil has been married to his wife, Amy, since 1996 and the couple share daughters Amanda, born in 1999, and Sophia, born in 2001, and son Evan, born in 2003.
