Golf legend Phil Mickelson is at the center of a new report alleging that he was removed from The Farms Golf Club near San Diego following a complaint from a female employee. According to Golf Digest, the six-time major champion is no longer a member at the club after an alleged incident earlier this year involving what the outlet described as “nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact.” Multiple sources told the publication that the incident occurred before a round of golf this spring, and that club officials confronted Mickelson while he was still on the course and asked him to leave before finishing his round.
The Farms Golf Club did not name Mickelson in its statement to Golf Digest, but confirmed that it investigated a complaint involving a member and took action after a staff member reported misconduct. The club said it provided support to the employee, carried out an independent investigation, and determined that the individual involved was no longer a member. Multiple sources cited by the outlet identified Mickelson as the former member in question.
Mickelson has not publicly commented directly on the allegations. A spokesperson said that “any misunderstanding has been cleared up,” and added that Mickelson has been dealing with a family health matter and does not know when he will return to professional golf. The golfer has already missed several major events in 2026, including the Masters and the PGA Championship, while remaining largely absent from the public spotlight.
The allegations mark another difficult chapter for one of golf’s most recognizable figures. Mickelson, 55, has won six major championships and spent decades as one of the sport’s biggest stars. However, recent years have brought increased scrutiny, and this latest report adds to the controversy surrounding his career.
At this stage, the claims have not been independently verified beyond the reporting, and the allegation remains unproven. Still, the development has drawn significant attention across the golf world as fans and observers await further response from Mickelson, his representatives, or the club.
