Phil Mickelson entered an addiction treatment center amid ongoing personal issues, according to a report. The professional golfer, 56, is said to have checked into the undisclosed facility recently to seek ‘treatment for family trauma and addiction,’ a spokesperson for Mickelson told TMZ. The six-time major champion, who has previously opened up on his struggles with a gambling addiction, is believed to have already left the center. The Daily Mail has contacted Mickelson’s representatives for comment. The news comes after Mickelson stepped away from professional golf on the LIV Golf circuit and at this year’s major championships. He missed the start of the LIV Golf season, returned for one tournament in South Africa in March, but then stepped away again, even pulling out of the Masters and the Open Championship. Phil Mickelson entered an addiction treatment center amid ongoing personal issues Mickelson is pictured with his wife, Amy, at the 2012 Ryder Cup gala in Illinois At the time, Mickelson cited an unspecified private family matter involving his wife, Amy, for his absence. Mickelson has been married to Amy, 54, for almost 30 years after tying the knot back in November 1996. The couple share three children together in Evan, Sophie and Amanda. The left-handed legend has been candid about his struggles with gambling, previously opening up on his addiction in 2023. He said at the time that he had ‘crossed the line from moderation into addiction which isn’t fun at all.”The money wasn’t ever the issue since our financial security has never been threatened, but I was so distracted I wasn’t able to be present with the ones I love and caused a lot of harm,’ he said. He also described how this ‘lack of presence’ has been ‘so hurtful’ for his family, saying he’s been ‘often’ told throughout his addiction, ‘You’re here, but you’re not with us.”It affected those I care about in ways I wasn’t aware or could fully understand,’ Mickelson said. ‘It’s like a hurricane is going on outside and I’m isolated in a shelter oblivious to what was happening.”When I came out there was so much damage to clean up that I just wanted to back inside and not deal with it,’ he added. The golf icon has been married to wife Amy for close to 30 years. They share three children Mickelson and Amy are pictured with their children, Evan, Sophie and Amanda, after his victory at the 2013 Open ChampionshipMickelson has also made headlines this year for a series of alleged scandals and bombshell sexual misconduct accusations. In June, Golf Digest reported that Mickelson had been removed as a member of The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California, amid allegations of inappropriate physical contact with a female staff member.According to multiple sources, Mickelson approached the employee in the clubhouse, made non-consensual and inappropriate physical contact with her, and he was confronted by club officials mid-round before being told to vacate the premises.A representative confirmed he had resigned from the club.A separate report from Skratch later painted the incidents as part of a deeply entrenched pattern of behavior. Mickelson had previously departed two other high-end clubs – the Madison Club and The Bridges, also in Rancho Santa Fe – with sources at both allegedly saying personal conduct was a primary factor. Mickelson hit back at the allegations through his attorney, Tom Clare, at the time. ‘There is a great deal of misinformation circulating and, while Phil’s full attention is devoted to a private family health matter, he has retained defamation counsel and is determined to hold accountable any publication or individual trafficking in speculation or false rumors,’ Clare said in a statement. Mickelson’s spokespeople also claimed that he has ‘never been expelled from a golf club’ and that the decision to leave said clubs was ‘his alone.’ The golfer and his wife are seen taking in the action on the Sunday of the 2021 Ryder Cup Mickelson was accused of showing a photo of himself naked and erect to Ashley Perez (left) in 2015, then-wife of fellow golfer Pat PerezJust over a week later, however, Mickelson was accused of showing a nude photo to a fellow professional’s wife in a bombshell report on his private life published by Skratch – written by legendary golf writer Alan Shipnuck.In the piece, Mickelson is accused of allegedly showing a naked photograph of himself with an erect penis to the then-wife of fellow Tour professional Pat Perez during a tournament in 2015.Ashley Perez, who was married to Pat from 2014 to 2023, told the outlet the incident occurred during the Barclays tournament in New Jersey, when Mickelson arranged for the couple to join him at his villa at Liberty National Golf Course.While Pat had excused himself to use the restroom, leaving Ashley and Mickelson alone on the patio, she claims the six-time major champion produced his phone and showed her a full-body image of himself naked and aroused.’Phil says to me, ‘I’m going to leave my bedroom door open tonight. When Pat falls asleep I want you to come see me’,’ Ashley told Shipnuck.According to the outlet, she said she declined his advances and did not immediately tell her husband, saying she had not wanted to create a scene mid-tournament. When Perez was eventually told, he confronted Mickelson – who the outlet reports ultimately apologized during a corporate outing at the Madison Club in La Quinta, California.The allegation became central to Perez’s now-notorious comments on Claude Harmon’s podcast in November 2022, when he said: ‘I have a different hate for Phil than most people. Ashley Perez told Skratch that Mickelson apologized during an awkward 26-minute call ‘Phil crossed the line with me that is just uncrossable and unforgivable. He knows that he screwed up. He apologized for the action, but I cannot forgive him for it.’Ashley Perez says she has a recording of a subsequent 26-minute phone call between Pat and Mickelson. During it, she claims, Mickelson alternated between contrition and saying he could not remember the details of the evening. Shipnuck also reports he has listened to the recording.When Pat told him he had shown Ashley ‘a naked photo’, Mickelson is alleged to have responded: ‘You mean topless?’Without fully admitting what had happened, Mickelson is said to have told the couple: ‘I can’t tell you how disgusted and embarrassed I am in myself.’A spokesperson for the golfer told the Daily Mail earlier this year: ‘Some of the allegations circulating about Mr. Mickelson are false, and others revisit mistakes he has already acknowledged, publicly or privately. Stacking the disputed claims next to the ones he has owned does not make them credible. It instead contributes to a false and misleading narrative.’No person, no article, and no book can present an accurate, complete, or personal story of the life Mr. Mickelson and his family have lived. His story, struggles, and recovery belong to him and to the people who have shared it closely alongside him.’Recovery is not a straight line. Throughout their 35-year relationship, his wife, Amy Mickelson, has supported Mr. Mickelson and their family with extraordinary grace, unwavering love, and the belief that people are measured not only by their failures, but by what they do to make them right.’Mr. Mickelson’s priority is to become the husband, father, and man his family deserves. Right now, that means giving his full attention to a private family health matter. He understands that parts of his life are public, but his family’s private matters are not.’
