Overview
- On June 26, Ashley Perez told reporter Alan Shipnuck that in 2015 Mickelson showed her a full-body nude photo of himself with an erection and asked her to come to his room later that night.
- Perez allowed reporters to hear a recorded 26-minute apology Mickelson made to her then-husband Pat Perez, which sources say helped corroborate her account.
- Shipnuck’s reporting places the Perez claim inside a wider pattern that, he says, included abrupt exits from the Madison Club and The Bridges and a reported membership revocation at The Farms Golf Club after a staff complaint.
- Mickelson’s attorney has disputed some claims and said others revisit past mistakes, defamation counsel has been retained, no criminal charges have been publicly filed, and Mickelson remains on leave for a private family health matter.
- The allegations deepen reputational damage for the six-time major winner, could prompt further disclosures from those who say a culture of silence protected powerful figures, and may affect his club relationships and standing with LIV Golf.
