Report: Mickelson Kicked Out of San Diego Club for Inappropriate Contact with Female Employee
The club said it conducted an independent investigation and permanently removed Mickelson from its membership roster after a staff member reported misconduct.
- On Thursday, June 11, 2026, The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California, revoked Phil Mickelson's membership following an internal investigation into misconduct allegations involving a female employee.
- A female staff member reported that Mickelson made "nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact" with her before a round of golf earlier this spring, which she immediately rejected and reported to supervisors.
- Club officials confronted Mickelson on the course and ejected him mid-round; the facility later removed his photos from clubhouse walls after conducting a thorough independent investigation.
- Mickelson's camp stated, "Any misunderstanding has been cleared up," while attorney Tom Clare claimed the reporting was "squarely contradicted by objective, video evidence," though investigators found no security cameras exist in that area.
- Mickelson, who has 45 PGA Tour victories, remains away from professional golf attending to a private family health matter and will not compete at next week's U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in New York.
