Another troubling accusation has come out about Phil Mickelson, this time from a fellow professional golfer’s ex-wife.
It was revealed earlier this month that Mickelson was booted from a golf club he had long been a member of following alleged inappropriate contact with a female employee before a round of golf this spring at The Farms Golf Club in the San Diego area.
Now, Mickelson is being accused of more sexual harassment.
Pat Perez’s ex, Ashley, said she and Perez were staying at a villa rented by Mickelson near Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, where Mickelson is a member, during the 2015 Barclays at nearby Plainfield Country Club when things quickly grew uncomfortable.
In an interview with Skratch, Ashley alleged that when she and Mickelson were briefly alone in a room after Pat went to the bathroom, Mickelson showed her a picture of himself nude with an erection and flexing his bicep.
“Phil says to me, ‘I’m going to leave my bedroom door open tonight. When Pat falls asleep, I want you to come see me,'” Ashley claimed.

Ashley said she did not mention the incident to her husband at the time until after the tournament, and Mickelson apologized at a later date.
Skratch noted that Perez discussed his “hate” for Mickelson in a podcast roughly four years ago.
“Phil crossed the line with me that is just uncrossable and unforgivable. He knows that he screwed up. He apologized for the action, but I cannot forgive him for it,” Perez said.
Ashley said she now feels she was being “groomed” by Mickelson from when they first met in 2014.
Skratch also interviewed other sources for its story who alleged infidelity by Mickelson amid abrupt endings of memberships at other golf clubs.

“Some of the allegations circulating about Mr. Mickelson are false, and others revisit mistakes he has already acknowledged, publicly or privately,” a spokesperson for Mickelson said told Skratch. “Stacking the disputed claims next to the ones he has owned does not make them credible. It instead contributes to a false and misleading narrative.
“No person, no article and no book can present an accurate, complete or personal story of the life Mr. Mickelson and his family have lived. His story, struggles and recovery belong to him and to the people who have shared it closely alongside him.
“Recovery is not a straight line. Throughout their 35-year relationship, his wife, Amy Mickelson, has supported Mr. Mickelson and their family with extraordinary grace, unwavering love and the belief that people are measured not only by their failures, but by what they do to make them right.
“Mr. Mickelson’s priority is to become the husband, father and man his family deserves. Right now, that means giving his full attention to a private family health matter. He understands that parts of his life are public, but his family’s private matters are not.”
Perez told Skratch he was “not talking about Phil.”
Perez and Mickelson play for LIV Golf, but Mickelson has played just one tournament this year due to family issues. He has also missed all three majors.
