Overview
- Golf Digest reported on June 11 that an unnamed female employee at The Farms Golf Club accused Mickelson of making nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact earlier this spring.
- The Farms says it conducted an independent review, provided support to the staffer, confronted Mickelson mid-round and has revoked the member’s access to the club.
- The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office told media it has not located evidence showing an assault occurred and said it would investigate further if new information is provided.
- Mickelson’s representatives have disputed the account, say objective video evidence contradicts the report and have retained defamation counsel while he remains on leave for a family health matter.
- The incident removes a longtime member from his home club, deepens media scrutiny of a high-profile athlete with prior controversies, and could lead to civil legal action or renewed investigatory steps if new evidence emerges.
