Multiple sources told the magazine that the alleged incident took place prior to a round of golf this spring. The employee allegedly informed supervisors that Mickelson was engaged in what Golf Digest described as “incompatible and inappropriate physical contact.”

According to the report, club officials confronted Mickelson while he was still on the course and asked him to leave before completing his round.

The Farms Golf Club did not identify Mickelson by name in a statement provided to Golf Digestbut the club confirmed it had investigated a complaint involving a member.

“Following an employee’s report of member misconduct, the club provided immediate and ongoing support to employees, conducted a thorough independent investigation into the incident and took decisive action,” the statement read.

“This person is no longer a member of The Farms Golf Club.”

Several sources have now identified the former member as Mickelson.

The golf legend has not publicly addressed the allegation himself, but a spokesperson offered a brief statement to the publication.

“Any misunderstanding has been cleared up,” the spokesman said. “Phil continues to deal with a family health issue and is uncertain when he will be able to return to professional golf.”

The allegations come during a period when Mickelson has largely been absent from the public eye.

The 55-year-old LIV Golf star has missed several high-profile events in 2026, including both the Masters and the PGA Championship, citing an ongoing family health issue.

For years, Mickelson was among the most popular and recognizable figures in professional golf, winning six major championships and building a reputation as one of the sport’s biggest stars.

But the latest report adds yet another controversy to a career that has faced increasing scrutiny in recent years.

At this point nothing has been proven and the allegations remain unconfirmed accusations.

Still, the report has already sent shockwaves through the golf world as fans await further answers from Mickelson or his representatives.
