Phil Mickelson vehemently denied claims he asked a sports gambler to place a $400,000 bet on the U.S. entry in the 2012 Ryder Cup — a team that featured the famed golfer.
“I never bet on the Ryder Cup. While it is well known that I always enjoy a friendly wager on the course, I would never undermine the integrity of the game,” he said in a statement on Thursday.
“I have also been very open about my gambling addiction. I have previously conveyed my remorse, took responsibility, have gotten help, have been fully committed to therapy that has positively impacted me and I feel good about where I am now.
