Phil Mickelson Leaves Treatment
Golfer Phil Mickelson Leaves Treatment Program Amid Ongoing Family and Personal Matters
Anonymous
Phil Mickelson voluntarily entered an undisclosed treatment program for family trauma and addiction and has since left, according to his representative. The 56-year-old golfer has largely been away from competition since March, citing a private family health matter, and withdrew from the Masters. Reports included allegations of inappropriate conduct involving a golf-club employee and other allegations that his representatives disputed or described as previously addressed; Mickelson is no longer a member of the club. He has previously acknowledged struggling with gambling addiction and seeking professional help, but no details have been disclosed about his recent treatment or the family matter.
