Phil Mickelson Resigns From Club Amid Misconduct Allegations

Golfer Phil Mickelson has resigned from The Farms Country Club, located near San Diego, amidst allegations of inappropriate contact with a female employee. The club confirmed that following a staff member's report, they conducted an independent investigation and took decisive action, resulting in the golfer no longer being a member.

Tom Clare, an attorney representing Mickelson, confirmed the golfer's resignation. This incident occurs during a difficult period for Mickelson, who withdrew from both the Masters and PGA Championship this year due to family health matters.

Reports indicate that Mickelson allegedly made nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact with a female employee in the clubhouse. The employee reportedly rejected his advances and reported the incident to her supervisors, leading to the club confronting Mickelson on the course and asking him to leave.

Mickelson, 55, became the oldest major champion in golf history with his 2021 PGA Championship win and was a key figure in launching LIV Golf. He previously faced scrutiny and lost major sponsorships after controversial remarks about the Saudi-funded league.
