Phil Mickelson has been kicked out of a San Diego golf club over allegations he made unwanted physical contact with a female employee.
Golf Digest cited multiple sources as saying Mickelson is no longer welcome at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California, where the six-time major champion has played and practiced for decades. The unwanted contact was said to have happened earlier this year.
Mickelson, the chief recruiter in the launching of LIV Golf, has only played once this year because of a serious family health matter that has not been disclosed. He did not play the Masters and PGA Championship, and is no longer exempt for the US Open.
Golf Digest, who published their report on Thursday, said they had verified the identity of The Farms employee and were withholding her name to protect her privacy. They said she declined to participate in the reporting of the story.
