Phil Mickelson Reportedly Banned From Prestigious Golf Club After Alleged Inappropriate Contact With Female Employee

Phil Mickelson is at the center of serious allegations after a report said he was removed from The Farms Golf Club in the San Diego area following an incident involving a female employee earlier this year. According to a Golf Digest report published on June 11, 2026, the woman accused Mickelson of making “nonconsensual and inappropriate” physical contact with her at the clubhouse before a round of golf. The report said she rejected his advances and later told supervisors about what happened after Mickelson returned to the course.

The club then reportedly began an immediate review and investigation. According to the report, officials confronted Mickelson on the course before he completed his round and told him to leave the property. He complied, the report said.

A spokesperson for The Farms Golf Club confirmed that the club took the complaint seriously and carried out an independent investigation. In a statement to Golf Digest, the club said it is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful environment and that all allegations of misconduct are handled under its code of conduct. The statement added that the club provided support to the staff member involved and took decisive action after the investigation. The spokesperson also said Mickelson is no longer a member of the club.

Mickelson’s spokesperson did not directly address the allegations. Instead, the representative said any misunderstanding had been resolved and noted that Mickelson is dealing with a family health matter. The spokesperson added that it was unclear when he would return to professional golf.

The report comes after Mickelson withdrew from several tournaments earlier this year, including the Masters and the PGA Championship, saying he was stepping away for personal reasons. The new allegations have drawn attention because of his long career and high profile in the sport.

Mickelson, 55, has been one of golf’s most recognizable figures for decades. He has been married to Amy Mickelson since 1996, and the couple has three children: daughters Amanda and Sophia and son Evan.

The situation is still developing, but the report and the club’s response suggest the matter was treated as a serious breach of conduct. The club emphasized that it follows California law in reviewing complaints and takes action when warranted, while also protecting the privacy and safety of employees and members.

As of June 11, 2026, Mickelson has not personally issued a detailed public response to the specific claims described in the report.
