Overview
- Alan Shipnuck published the Skratch report on June 26 that put Ashley Perez’s 2015 allegation about Phil Mickelson into the public record and said the story was vetted with attorneys and fact‑checked.
- Perez tells Shipnuck that during the 2015 Barclays week Mickelson showed her a full‑body nude photo with an erection and propositioned her to come to his room while her husband was away.
- Shipnuck’s reporting links Perez’s account to a broader pattern by citing sources who say Mickelson had abrupt departures or lost memberships at The Farms, the Madison Club, and The Bridges after complaints about his behavior.
- Mickelson’s lawyer, Tom Clare, said some claims are false and others revisit acknowledged mistakes and has retained defamation counsel while Mickelson remains on leave for a family health matter and no criminal charges have been filed publicly.
- The disclosures have intensified scrutiny of Mickelson’s reputation on tour, prompted questions about private‑club governance and a reported culture of silence, and left players, staff and clubs weighing whether to reopen investigations if new evidence appears.
