Phil Mickelson has been accused of inappropriate conduct by Ashley Perez, the ex-wife of fellow golfer Pat Perez. The allegations surfaced after Mickelson was reportedly removed from a golf club due to previous claims of inappropriate contact with a female employee. In an interview, Ashley Perez stated that during the 2015 Barclays tournament, Mickelson showed her a nude photo of himself and made an inappropriate invitation. Following the incident, she did not inform her then-husband until after the tournament, and Mickelson later apologized. Pat Perez expressed his disapproval of Mickelson's actions, stating that it was an unforgivable mistake. A spokesperson for Mickelson responded to the allegations, asserting that some claims are false and others are past mistakes he has acknowledged. He emphasized the importance of focusing on family matters during this time. Both Mickelson and Perez currently play for LIV Golf, although Mickelson has participated in only one tournament this year due to family issues.
