American professional golfer Phil Mickelson has reportedly been expelled from a private California golf club following allegations that he made unwanted physical contact with a female employee, triggering fresh scrutiny of the six-time major champion's conduct away from the course.
The decision by The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe marks a significant development in the public profile of the 55-year-old golfer, who has been largely absent from competition this season amid a reported family health matter.
