Mickelson has stayed away from professional golf\u00a0<\/a>for most of 2026 while tending to a family matter<\/a>. <\/p>\n He has also additionally dealt with allegations of inappropriate conduct.<\/p>\n The 56-year-old was reportedly barred from a prominent golf club<\/a> in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. after a female employee accused him of making \u201cnonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact\u201d with her.<\/p>\n Weeks later, Pat Perez\u2019s ex-wife, Ashley, told Skratch\u2019s\u00a0Alan Shipnuck<\/a> that Mickelson had tried to seduce her in 2015 by using a naked photo of himself<\/a> \u2014 all while Perez was in a nearby bathroom.<\/p>\n Phil Mickelson reacts after a putt on the 15th hole during day one of the LIV Golf Invitational \u2013 Chicago at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois, Friday, September 22, 2023.

He understands that parts of his life are public, but his family\u2019s private matters are not.\u201d<\/p>\n The three-time Masters champion\u2019s wife, Amy, was supporting \u201cMickelson and their family with extraordinary grace\u201d and \u201cunwavering love\u201d at the time of the report, the spokeswoman added, but Mickelson\u2019s spouse was spotted in July without her wedding ring<\/a> and has not been photographed in public since.<\/p>\n
