As you no doubt know by now, earlier this month Phil was escorted off the 14th fairway at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe - his club of thirty years - following allegations of inappropriate contact with a female employee.
It's the kind of story that lands differently when you're a member somewhere.
A lot of you reached out asking how CCC would cover this.
We’re not going to report on it. Instead, we built a game.
You're Phil. Four temptations, one membership, zero margin for error. The situations are drawn from the actual incident and everything else we know about how Phil Mickelson operates in the world.
Can you keep your membership where Phil couldn't?
But while Phil's losing his membership, you can still keep yours AND win our pool.
The 2026 CCC US Open Pool is officially OPEN:
$25 to enter, open through Saturday night - tell a friend!
