Phil Mickelson accused of lewd behavior by ex-wife of Pat Perez
Ashley Perez, ex-wife of professional golfer Pat Perez, recently told Alan Shipnuck that Phil Mickelson allegedly showed her a nude photo and asked her to "come see me" during a 2015 incident at Liberty National Golf Club.
Earlier this year, Mickelson lost his membership at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California, for "non-consensual, inappropriate" behavior with a female employee, part of a broader pattern of alleged misconduct.
Pat Perez was told about the incident after the tournament concluded, and Mickelson later apologized to Pat during a corporate outing in La Quinta, California, with the conversation recorded.
Mickelson's attorney Tom Clare stated "some of the allegations circulating about Mr. Mickelson are false," while Mickelson has played just one professional event this season, citing family health matters.
Ashley told Shipnuck she went public to encourage women to break the "culture of silence" surrounding powerful men, stating Mickelson must understand the trauma his behavior has caused.
