Phil Mickelson was accused of inappropriate contact with a female employee of a golf club near San Diego and has had his membership revoked, according to a report by Golf Digest's Joel Beall and Tod Leonard. Golf Digest confirmed through multiple sources that Mickelson, a six-time major champion and 45-time winner on the PGA Tour, is no longer a member of The Farms Golf Club.
