Phil Mickelson is facing allegations of sexual misconduct made by Ashley Perez, the ex-wife of fellow pro golfer Pat Perez.
What happened?
On Friday, a report by Skratch's Alan Shipnuck alleged that Mickelson showed Ashley a nude photo of himself in 2015.
Mickelson's wife Amy has supported him with extraordinary grace and unwavering love amid these allegations.
Why it matters for Phil Mickelson
The allegations stem from a 2015 incident at a villa property owned by Mickelson, where Ashley claimed he showed her a full-body picture of himself naked.
Mickelson's spokeswoman denied some allegations made publicly against him, stating that stacking disputed claims next to acknowledged mistakes does not make them credible.
What comes next?
Mickelson has been away from professional golf since February to tend to a family matter, and his attorney Tom Clare called the report reckless in a statement to The California Post.
Ashley addressed public support she received in an Instagram Story post, thanking people for their love and support.
Mickelson's story, struggles, and recovery belong to him and his family, according to his spokeswoman.
The incident allegedly occurred during the PGA Tour's Barclays tournament at Plainfield CC in Edison, N.J. in 2015.
Mickelson reportedly apologized to Pat Perez in private on multiple occasions after the incident.
Ashley filed for divorce from Perez in November 2023.
Mickelson's spokeswoman stated that recovery is not a straight line, and Amy has supported him throughout their 35-year relationship.
