The Farms, a club in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., outside of San Diego, confirmed to The Athletic that it pulled Mickelson’s membership. Golf Digest first reported the news Thursday. Golf Digest cited anonymous sources in saying the incident involved unwanted contact with a female employee of the club.

A day after an explosive report by Golf Digest, Phil Mickelson has issued a response through his attorney, calling the story "misinformation" and he's threatening legal action.

Mickelson reportedly made "non-consensual and inappropriate physical contact" with a clubhouse staff member who rejected his advances and reported the matter to her supervisors.
