Phil Mickelson, the 56-year-old three-time Masters champion, entered a men’s treatment program for family trauma and addiction earlier this year, his representative confirmed. Although the exact dates of his enrollment and the duration of his stay were not disclosed, Mickelson has since completed the program and is no longer in treatment.
Mickelson has largely stayed out of the spotlight for most of 2026 as he addressed a private family matter. This period has also included scrutiny stemming from allegations of inappropriate conduct. He was reportedly banned from a prominent golf club in Rancho Santa Fe, California, following accusations from a female employee who said Mickelson engaged in “nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact.”
Further allegations surfaced weeks later when Ashley Perez, the ex-wife of professional golfer Pat Perez, claimed that Mickelson attempted to seduce her in 2015 by sending a nude photograph of himself while Perez was in a nearby bathroom. Responding to the report, Mickelson’s spokeswoman stated that some of the circulating accusations were false, while others involved mistakes he had already acknowledged either publicly or privately.
The spokeswoman emphasized Mickelson’s focus on his family, saying his priority is to “become the husband, father, and man his family deserves” and that he is currently dedicating his full attention to a private family health issue. She also noted that while his life is subject to public scrutiny, his family matters remain private.
At the time of the allegations, Mickelson’s wife, Amy, expressed “extraordinary grace” and “unwavering love” in supporting him and their family, according to the spokeswoman. However, Amy Mickelson was seen without her wedding ring in July and has not appeared publicly since then.
The initial report of Mickelson’s treatment program was first made public by TMZ.
