The alleged incident, reported by Golf Digest, is said to have gone down earlier this year at the course's clubhouse.

The 6x Major champion is accused of approaching a female employee and making "nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact with her."

According to the report, the woman went to her bosses, and the club immediately launched an investigation.
When the 55-year-old golf legend returned to the course, he was confronted and "told to vacate the premises," which he did before completing his round.


A spokesperson for Phil downplayed the situation, saying, "Any misunderstanding has been cleared up. Phil continues to attend to a family health matter and is uncertain when he will be able to return to professional golf.”

In February, Mickelson announced he was "stepping away" from competition because of a "family health matter."
