Phil Mickelson Sought Treatment for Family Trauma and Addiction, Rep Says

Phil Mickelson entered a treatment facility for family trauma and addiction and has since left, his representative says. TMZ Sports reported it first and People confirmed it. The statement didn't name the addiction, though Mickelson has been open about gambling, and it didn't say how long he stayed. The stay helps explain the 56-year-old's quiet season. He played one LIV event in South Africa in March, skipped the Masters and withdrew from the PGA Championship. The report also follows a June Golf Digest story about an accusation at The Farms Golf Club.
