Phil Mickelson Sought Treatment for Addiction and Trauma

Golfer Phil Mickelson sought treatment at a men's addiction and trauma program earlier this year, a representative confirmed Monday to The Post. The specifics of when Mickelson entered the program or the duration of his stay remain unclear, but his representative stated that he has since completed the program.

"Phil was seeking treatment for family trauma and addiction," the representative said in a statement. Mickelson has largely withdrawn from professional golf this year to attend to a family matter. He has also faced allegations of inappropriate conduct.

In June, a female employee reportedly accused Mickelson of "nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact" at a golf club in Rancho Santa Fe, California, leading to his alleged barring from the establishment. Subsequently, Ashley Perez, ex-wife of golfer Pat Perez, alleged that Mickelson attempted to seduce her in 2015 by showing her a nude photograph of himself.

At the time of the Skratch report detailing these allegations, a spokeswoman for Mickelson stated that "some of the allegations circulating about Mr. Mickelson are false" and that others pertained to "mistakes he has already acknowledged, publicly or privately." The spokeswoman added that Mickelson's priority was to be the husband and father his family deserved, focusing on a private family health matter. Mickelson's wife, Amy, was reportedly supportive during this period, though she has not been seen in public or photographed wearing her wedding ring since July.

TMZ was the first to report on Mickelson's enrollment in the treatment program.
