American golf star Phil Mickelson voluntarily entered an addiction treatment center for mental health issues and has since been discharged, a US entertainment and sports outlet reported.
TMZ Sports reported Wednesday that Mickelson checked himself into a treatment facility because of mental health concerns, received treatment and has now left the center.
Mickelson, a six-time major champion who formed one of golf‘s biggest rivalries with Tiger Woods, stopped competing in April and took a break because of health issues.
In 2023, Mickelson disclosed that he had struggled for years with a gambling addiction.
"I crossed the line of moderation and into addiction, and I have received professional help for years," he said.
