Professional golfer Phil Mickelson has been expelled from The Farms Golf Club in California after reports of inappropriate physical contact with a female staff member.

職業高爾夫球手菲爾·米克森因被報導指稱與一名女性員工有不當身體接觸，而被加州的 The Farms 高爾夫球會除名。

The club took this action after a report by Golf Digest claimed that Mickelson touched a female employee without her consent inside the clubhouse this spring. According to the report, the employee told her managers while Mickelson was still playing his round, which led to him being removed from the property immediately. The club later confirmed that an independent investigation took place and stated that Mickelson is no longer a member because they are committed to providing a safe and respectful environment.

球會採取此行動是因為《Golf Digest》報導指稱，米克森於今年春季在會所內，在未經同意的情況下觸摸一名女性員工。根據報導，該員工在米克森仍在進行比賽時向經理舉報，導致他立即被要求離開該地。球會隨後確認進行了獨立調查，並表示由於致力於提供安全且尊重的環境，米克森不再是會員。

However, Mickelson's lawyers have denied these claims. His attorney, Tom Clare, emphasized that video evidence proves the allegations are false and mentioned that they have hired legal experts to deal with the spread of wrong information. Additionally, a spokesperson for the golfer asserted that any 'misunderstanding' has already been settled. At the same time, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office reported that they have not found any evidence of sexual assault, although they are willing to investigate further if new evidence appears.

然而，米克森的律師否認了這些指控。其律師 Tom Clare 強調，影片證據證明指控不實，並提到他們已聘請法律專家來處理錯誤資訊的傳播。此外，該高爾夫球手的發言人聲稱任何「誤會」均已解決。同時，聖地牙哥縣警長辦公室報告稱，目前尚未發現任何性侵證據，但若出現新證據，他們願意進一步調查。

This situation happens while the 55-year-old athlete is taking a break from professional golf due to a private family health issue. Although Mickelson has achieved great financial success, including a massive deal with LIV Golf, his career has been troubled by several controversies. These include a 2016 investigation into insider trading, gambling problems, and a public argument with the PGA Tour in 2022. Consequently, these repeated issues have prevented him from becoming a U.S. Ryder Cup captain and have made it difficult for him to start a career in sports broadcasting.

此次事件發生在這位 55 歲的運動員因私人家庭健康問題而暫離職業高爾夫球賽期間。雖然米克森在財務上取得了巨大成功，包括與 LIV Golf 簽署的大額協議，但其職業生涯一直飽受多起爭議困擾。其中包括 2016 年關於內線交易的調查、賭博問題以及 2022 年與 PGA Tour 的公開爭執。因此，這些反覆出現的問題使他無法成為美國萊德盃隊長，也使其難以在體育轉播領域開啟職業生涯。

Phil Mickelson continues to stay away from professional golf for family reasons while dealing with the loss of his club membership and potential legal battles over the misconduct claims.

菲爾·米克森因家庭原因繼續暫離職業高爾夫球界，同時處理失去球會會員資格以及關於行為不端指控的潛在法律戰。
