Mickelson seeks treatment for trauma, addiction

Phil Mickelson, the 56-year-old six-time major winner, sought treatment earlier this year for "family trauma and addiction," his representatives confirmed on Wednesday. The golfer voluntarily entered a treatment facility and has since returned home, though his reps did not specify when he sought treatment or how long he stayed. sportnewz.click

Mickelson has not played professional golf since March and has previously spoken about his gambling issues. The news comes amid a challenging period for the left-handed legend, who remains one of golf's most recognizable figures despite his recent absence from the tour.
