Golf legend Phil Mickelson is pushing back against allegations he inappropriately touched a female employee at an exclusive Southern California golf club earlier this year \u2014 with his attorney saying video evidence refutes the allegations.<\/p>\n

The six-time major champion allegedly approached a worker at Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe and made \u201cnonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact\u201d with her.<\/p>\n

After rejecting him, the employee reported the alleged misconduct to supervisors.<\/p>\n

Mickelson, 55, has retained prominent defamation attorney Tom Clare, who says video evidence contradicts the claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a great deal of misinformation circulating and, while Phil\u2019s full attention is devoted to a private family health matter, he has retained defamation counsel and is determined to hold accountable any publication or individual trafficking in speculation or false rumors,\u201d Clare said in a statement to Golf Digest.<\/p>\n

The allegation reportedly led to Mickelson being immediately removed from the club\u2019s grounds and stripped of his longtime membership.<\/p>\n

Farms Golf Club told Golf Digest it conducted a thorough investigation before confronting Mickelson and stands by its decision to revoke his membership.<\/p>\n

But law enforcement sources who spoke to The California Post on Thursday said they had not been able to \u201clocate any evidence to support the potential allegation of a sexual assault.\u201d <\/p>\n

An SDCSO spokesperson said they had not received any official reports of a sexual assault incident at the club and \u201cat this time, we have not located any evidence to show an assault has occurred.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe Sheriff\u2019s Office would absolutely investigate further if provided additional evidence or information,\u201d the SDCSO spokesperson said. \u201cWe encourage anyone with information regarding an incident such as this to reach out to the Sheriff\u2019s Office.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mickelson, a San Diego native, had deep ties to the establishment \u2014 Golf Digest reported he\u2019s played there often over the years and even used it to practice for major championships.<\/p>\n

The married father of three stepped away from professional golf earlier this year for family health reasons. His last appearance came at LIV Golf South Africa in March.<\/p>\n
