Phil Mickelson Has Left Treatment Facility

Phil Mickelson sought treatment for family trauma and addiction and has since left a treatment facility, according to statements from his representative. The statements do not specify what addiction was treated, when he entered the facility or how long he stayed. A representative described Mickelson’s treatment in a statement reported on September 30. A separate account based on comments from a representative said the treatment took place earlier in 2026, but also left the enrollment date and duration unclear. The available statements do not establish whether the treatment was related to gambling. Mickelson, 56, has previously spoken publicly about gambling addiction. In a 2023 social-media post, he said his gambling had crossed from moderation into addiction and had harmed his relationships and his ability to be present with loved ones. That earlier account does not establish that gambling was the focus of his recent treatment. The six-time major champion has also been away from competitive golf for much of 2026 while addressing a family health matter.
