A representative for Phil Mickelson took issue with a Detroit News report that linked the golfer to an alleged mob bookie in a 2007 trial.
Mickelson, 51, is playing in the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Country Club for the first time. The story published Tuesday reported Mickelson's ties to a bookie who allegedly cheated Mickelson out of $500,000, according to federal court documents the newspaper obtained.
"He didn't say anything (in the story) that wasn't true; I'm not complaining about that,'' said Glenn Cohen, Mickelson's attorney, in an interview with ESPN.
