Phil Mickelson Resigns From The Farms Golf Club After Employee Alleges Inappropriate Contact

Summary
A spokesperson for Phil Mickelson confirmed he resigned from The Farms Golf Club after the San Diego-area club said he was no longer a member.
Earlier this spring, a female employee accused the six-time major winner of nonconsensual, inappropriate physical contact before a round; supervisors reported it, and club officials confronted Mickelson mid-round and told him to leave.
The Farms said it conducted an independent investigation, provided ongoing support to the employee and took “decisive action”; the club has also removed Mickelson’s display from its clubhouse.
Mickelson did not address the allegation directly, with representatives saying any misunderstanding had been cleared up while his attention remained on a separate family health matter; his lawyer also claimed video contradicted the account, though the club said no such footage exists.
The episode deepens scrutiny of one of golf’s most prominent figures, who has played only once in 2026, missed the Masters and will not be at next week’s U.S. Open.
