Mickelson's legal representative, Tom Clare, criticized the media coverage.
“A small segment of the golf media has decided that because Mr. Mickelson is a successful golfer, every detail of his private and family life is theirs to exploit,” Clare said in a statement.
“Recycling mistakes he has already acknowledged as new reporting, and dragging private family matters into public view, is reckless.”
Jennifer Connelly, a spokeswoman for Mickelson, released a statement defending the golfer and noting that his wife, Amy Mickelson, remains supportive during their 35-year relationship.
“Some of the allegations circulating about Mr. Mickelson are false, and others revisit mistakes he has already acknowledged, publicly or privately,” Connelly said.
“Stacking the disputed claims next to the ones he has owned does not make them credible.”
Connelly emphasized that Mickelson is currently focusing on his family while managing a private health concern.
“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.”

The statement also noted that Mickelson no longer holds a membership at the San Diego area country club where the initial complaint originated.
