The Farms Golf Club Expels Phil Mickelson, 55, Over Inappropriate Contact Allegation

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 11

Summary

  • The Farms Golf Club told Golf Digest it removed Phil Mickelson from membership after a female employee accused him of nonconsensual, inappropriate physical contact before a round this spring.
  • Club officials reportedly confronted Mickelson mid-round, ordered him to leave the San Diego-area course, and he departed before finishing play.
  • The club said it gave the staff member immediate support, conducted an independent investigation under California law, and took “decisive action,” but declined further comment to protect privacy.
  • Mickelson, 55, has played only 1 of LIV Golf’s 9 completed events this season and said in April he would step away for an extended period because of a family health matter.
