Phil Mickelson has been the subject of explosive claims in a new book suggesting that he made bets worth over $1 billion. The book, titled “Gambler: Secrets from a Life at Risk” by Billy Walters, details the bets that Mickelson and Walters had made together in the past. According to Walters, Mickelson wanted to bet $400,000 on the United States regaining the Ryder Cup in 2012. However, Walters declined to place the bet and is unsure if Mickelson went ahead with it. Ultimately, Europe ended up winning the Ryder Cup after a comeback from being 10-6 down.
When asked about the allegation, Rory McIlroy took a playful dig at Mickelson, saying, “At least he can bet on the Ryder Cup this year because he won’t be a part of it.” Mickelson initially declined to comment on the matter but later released a statement on social media denying the accusation. He emphasized that he never bets on the Ryder Cup and stated that he values the integrity of the game. Mickelson also acknowledged his gambling addiction and expressed remorse for his past actions. He assured that he has sought help and is committed to therapy. Despite his previous struggles, Mickelson clarified that joining the Saudi-funded breakaway league had nothing to do with financial difficulty. He admitted that his gambling had become reckless and embarrassing but assured that it does not pose a threat to his financial security.
