Phil Mickelson wired nearly $3 million to an intermediary who was part of "an illegal gambling operation which accepted and placed bets on sporting events," according to a report from ESPN's Outside the Lines.
The report states that Mickelson has not been charged with a crime and is not under investigation, but that $2.75 million worth of his money was transferred to an individual, Greg Silveira, who has since pleaded guilty to three counts of money laundering involving "funds from an unnamed gambling client of his between February 2010 and February 2013."
The report, citing sources, alleges that client to be Mickelson, although he was not named in court documents.
