Phil Mickelson’s Rehab Exit Reveals A Hidden Battle

A representative told TMZ Sports that Phil Mickelson entered a treatment facility addressing addiction and family trauma. The 56-year-old golf star has since left the center, though the specific nature of his treatment remains unclear. This news follows months of absence from competitive golf, including a withdrawal from the Masters in April.

The six-time major champion played just one LIV Golf event this year, which took place in South Africa back in March. His representative confirmed the visit to PEOPLE on Wednesday, September 30, noting that Mickelson is no longer at the facility. TMZ Sports broke the story first, reporting that the golfer sought care voluntarily.
