Phil Mickelson previously revealed that he and his wife Amy Mickelson were dealing with a family health matter. <\/p>\n
Golfer Phil Mickelson is embroiled in controversy after several allegations of inappropriate conduct emerged, but the 56-year-old\u2019s longtime wife is sticking by him.<\/p>\n
Mickelson has been away from the golf course for several months, stepping back from LIV and withdrawing from all majors this year as he deals with a family health crisis. His own personal crisis deepened after a report from Golf Digest<\/a> revealed that Mickelson had been kicked out of his home club, The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California, after he allegedly made inappropriate contact with a female employee.<\/p>\n Though Mickelson was later accused of having more inappropriate relationships, the golfer\u2019s representative shared a statement citing his wife offering her support.<\/p>\n Phil Mickelson\u2019s Wife Shares \u2018Unwavering Love\u2019<\/p>\n After the report from Golf Digest, Mickelson strongly denied any wrongdoing and threatened potential defamation action. But a subsequent story from\u00a0golf insider Alan Shipnuck published in\u00a0Skratch<\/a> revealed other allegations against Mickelson, including extramarital relationships and other severed ties with golf clubs due to his conduct.<\/p>\n In a statement to People magazine<\/a>, Mickelson admitted through a spokeswoman that he had endured had some personal difficulties but reiterated that wife Amy was standing by him.<\/p>\n \u201cRecovery is not a straight line,\u201d the spokeswoman said. \u201cThroughout their 35-year relationship, his wife, Amy Mickelson, has supported Mr. Mickelson and their family with extraordinary grace, unwavering love, and the belief that people are measured not only by their failures, but by what they do to make them right.\u201d<\/p>\n The statement echoed one initially shared with Skratch for the story detailing other allegations, adding that Mickelson was focusing on his family.<\/p>\n \u201cMr. Mickelson\u2019s priority is to become the husband, father, and man his family deserves,\u201d the spokeswoman said. \u201cRight now, that means giving his full attention to a private family health matter. He understands that parts of his life are public, but his family\u2019s private matters are not.\u201d<\/p>\n Mickelson\u2019s representative pushed back on the entirety of Shipnuck\u2019s report, saying some of the allegations are false and \u201cothers revisit mistakes he has already acknowledged, publicly or privately.\u201d The statement said the story amounted to a \u201cfalse\u201d narrative against Mickelson.<\/p>\n \u201cStacking the disputed claims next to the ones he has owned does not make them credible. It instead contributes to a false and misleading narrative,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n Phil Mickelson\u2019s Other Family Struggles<\/p>\n Shipnuck\u2019s report shed more light on the family crisis that has sidelined Mickelson for several months, revealing that it is one of his children.<\/p>\n \u201cThe one-time social media muckraker has gone radio silent,\u201d Shipnuck reported. \u201cMickelson missed the first four tournaments of the LIV season citing a \u2018family health matter\u2019 and, indeed, one of his children had been unwell, according to friends of the family.\u201d<\/p>\n It is not clear when Mickelson could return to the LIV tour, but Shipnuck painted a dire future for the legendary golfer. He does not appear welcome to return to the PGA Tour after his high-profile and messy exit for LIV, while the Saudi league has been embroiled in financial troubles and faces an uncertain future.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tNathan Dougherty<\/a> is a sports reporter covering the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins.
