His team also disputed Skratch’s account of his interaction with Ashley Perez, adding that while Mickelson had apologised for his conduct, “that should not be misconstrued as an admission of every allegation made against him.” The statement further noted that Skratch is affiliated with the PGA Tour, which Mickelson left in 2022 to join the rival LIV Golf circuit, suggesting readers should consider that relationship when evaluating the report. Skratch editor-in-chief Ben Boskovich rejected the criticism, telling the Post that Mickelson and his repre sentatives were given an opportunity to respond before publication but declined. He said the outlet “stands by its reporting.” Mickelson, 56, is one of golf’s most accomplished players, with six major championships and 45 PGA Tour victo ries. – The Independent

showed her a nude photo of himself in 2015 and suggested she visit him after her husband had gone to sleep. The allegations came weeks after Golf Digest reported that Mickelson’s membership at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe had been revoked over alleged nonconsensual and inappropri ate physical contact with a female club employee. Skratch also reported, citing anony mous sources, that Mickelson is no longer welcome at The Madison Club in La Quinta and The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe, and alleged his wife, Amy Mickelson, played a role in the deci sions. Mickelson’s representatives denied the claims, saying, “Mickelson has never been expelled from a golf club. His membership has never been revoked by a golf club. Those decisions were his alone.”

P HIL MICKELSON has force fully denied allegations of inap propriate behavior toward women after a report claimed he was no longer welcome at several exclusive golf clubs. In a statement issued yesterday to the New York Post , representatives for the six-time major champion dismissed the allegations published by Skratch Golf as an “anonymously sourced drive by shooting” designed to create “a com pelling, click-bait narrative over an accurate one.” The denial follows a Skratch Golf investigation alleging that Mickelson was barred from three California golf clubs for his conduct. The report also cited claims from Ashley Perez, the former wife of golfer Pat Perez, who alleged Mickelson

Pogacar targeting fifth Tour triumph

Petaling Jaya (Five-day week)

TADEJ POGACA R (pic) begins his quest for history today as he bids to win a record fifth Tour de France. As has been the case in the previous five years, his main competition will come from Jonas Vingegaard, who beat the Slovenian in 2022 and 2023 but was second to the world cham pion in 2021, 2024 and last year. Yet the Tour will not be just about those two this year, as France dreams of ending its 41-year wait for a home winner at the Grande Boucle. Teenage prodigy Paul Seixas has dazzled throughout this year, and although no one expects him to actually win the Tour this year – this will be his first Grand Tour – he is surely a champion in the making.

other one. He won his two stage races, wracking up 13 victories in 16 race days in 2026, never finishing below 12th in any stage. “If he’s able to stay on his bike… it looks as if he’s got this one in the bag,” former four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome told AFP . Few would disagree.

Pogacar insisted there are several rivals who could beat him, but victories over the 27-year-old UAE Team Emirates leader have become a rarity.

Vingegaard, 29, described Pogacar as “probably the best rider who has ever been in a bunch”.

But over 21 stages – starting with a team time trial in Barcelona – and 3,200km that will cross the Pyrenees into southwestern France before head ing diagonally to the Vosges mountains in the northeast before dropping down to the Alps in the southeast and then finishing in the capital, Paris, it is hard to see past Pogacar, such has been his dominance in cycling in the last three seasons. He has had seven races this season, win ning six of them and finishing second in the

Champ expects Vingegaard battle to last ‘years’

TOU R DE F R A N CE champion Tadej Pogacar said yesterday that his rivalry with Jonas Vingegaard is pushing both riders “to new heights”. The 27-year-old insisted that the Tour is not going to be a straight fight between him and Vingegaard, 29, pointing to his own UEA Team Emirates teammate Isaac del Toro as a potential challenger. “I don’t think that he’s the only one that can come close,” Pogacar said about Vingegaard. “I think that there are quite a few guys here that can aim for the victory, right next to me,” he added at yesterday’s pre-Tour press conference, indicating Mexican Del Toro. “But the competition between

me and Jonas, of course, the last few years was spectacular. “And I think it will continue for a few more years, I hope. We will see. “I think we push each other to the new heights every year. So we will see how far we go this year.” Visma-Lease a Bike leader Vingegaard said his preparation for the Tour has gone as well as he could have hoped for. He has started three stage races this year, winning all three. “Both better and stronger,” he said when asked how he felt. “I would even say more happy in a mental state also. “I’ve had a very good year so far this year and I’ve enjoyed riding a bit more this year than I did last year.” – AFP
