at a Rancho Santa Fe golf club earlier this year, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office told The California Post on Thursday.

However, the rep added they had not received any official reports of a sexual assault incident at the club and “at this time, we have not located any evidence to show an assault has occurred.

Mickelson allegedly “made nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact” with the woman inside The Farms’ clubhouse in the spring, according toon Thursday, and following a probe into the matter from the employee’s supervisors, the three-time Masters champion was booted from the club. Mickelson, a San Diego native, had deep ties to the establishment — Golf Digest reported he’s played there often over the years and even used it to practice for major championships.

Mickelson has not commented on the alleged incident, though Tom Clare, a defamation attorney representing the golfer, said in a statement to Golf Digest there’s been “a great deal of misinformation circulating” around the situation.

“While Phil’s full attention is devoted to a private family health matter,” Clare said, “he has retained defamation counsel and is determined to hold accountable any publication or individual trafficking in speculation or false rumors. ”Phil Mickelson of the United States plays his second shot on the second hole during Day One of The 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club on July 17, 2025 in Portrush, Northern Ireland.
