Phil Mickelson Booted From Golf Club After Accusations of Inappropriate Contact With Employee
Sports Illustrated ^ | June 11, 2026 | Tom Dierberger

Phil Mickelson is reportedly no longer a member at The Farms Golf Club, a private golf course in the San Diego area, due to allegations of inappropriate contact with a female employee.

According to Golf Digest, Mickelson approached the female employee at the clubhouse before a round and made nonconsensual physical contact with her. Mickelson’s advances were rejected by the employee, and she filed a complaint to club officials.

Mickelson was approached by club officials about the incident soon after, and he left the golf course before he finished the round. Golf Digest confirmed that Mickelson is no longer a member at The Farms Golf Club.

“The Farms Golf Club is committed to maintaining a golf club environment that is safe, respectful and reflects the highest standards of conduct,” the golf club said in a statement. “All members are required to adhere to our Code of Conduct, and any allegations of misconduct are taken seriously. Following a staff member report of member misconduct, the Club provided immediate and ongoing support to the staff member, conducted a thorough independent investigation of the incident and took decisive action. This individual is no longer a member of The Farms Golf Club.

Mickelson, who was raised in the Rancho Santa Fe area just north of San Diego, played often at Farms Golf Club and trained there before major championships.

Mickelson’s camp responded to the allegations in a statement:

“Any misunderstanding has been cleared up,” the statement read. “Phil continues to attend to a family health matter and is uncertain when he will be able to return to professional golf.”

Good advice. Unless you don’t mind lawsuits.

I am a female State Senator. I was in my district at a meet and greet for our new Police Chief. As I was walking around I touched a man’s beard, someone I knew, to say hello. It was a nano second. He filed a criminal complaint against me. That is where we are at today in America.

That is so low of him. I would bet he was cajoled into filing the complaint by your opposition.

It's as it ever was with that stripe of politicos though: My great grandfather ran for state senator in LA County in the late middle 1800s, an upstanding a man as ever was. He was smeared as a degenerate by the competition, and lost ... the deceiving pack of real degenerates won.

Yep. I’m a retired public high school teacher. I know colleagues who would touch a student on the shoulder. Maybe to reassure them. Or maybe to gently guide them to where they needed to go.

I tried to tell those teachers not to do that. Don’t touch for any reason. Just don’t. You could be arrested for a battery. Or for something worse.

Fortunately, none of my colleagues got into trouble - as far as I know. Nevertheless, it was naive behavior.

He may have made so much money it is impossible for him to go broke, but Mickelson strikes me as a guy who one day will be worth nothing.

Given his reckless gambling past and overall addictive personality, I could see him penniless one day.

Everyone one meets at a golf course should be treated with respect and dignity.

I blame women for this. The metoo movement in particular recently has made accusations the same as convictions. You are immediately cancelled and its spread far and wide.

It has been going on for years towards men like we are all just raping machines ready to go off at any minute. ANY interaction with a female can lead to disaster.
