Tiger Woods has zero sympathy for golf rival Phil Mickelson as the linksman's reputation is rocked by s-x misconduct allegations – and Woods' even gloating to pals that it's about time karma kicked the ballsy jock where it hurts, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
As previously reported, 50-year-old Woods is currently grappling with the fallout from his March arrest in Florida for misdemeanor DUI with property damage, having pleaded not guilty to all charges – in addition to supporting girlfriend Vanessa Trump through her breast cancer battle.
He's also endured past divorce drama and grappled with a dependence on painkillers.
Phil's Scandal Worries Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods is reportedly taking no pity on Phil Mickelson amid the golfer's misconduct controversy.
"Tiger is currently in the process of piecing his life back together while taking care of Vanessa, continuing his rehabilitation and trying to avoid conflict and negativity at all costs. But he's well aware of this giant scandal that's erupted around Phil," an said says.
Mickelson, 56, has been accused of showing a nude photo of himself on his cell phone to golfer Pat Perez's now-estranged wife, Ashley, in 2015. The bombshell claim came days after he ceased being a member of an exclusive California country club after being accused of making nonconsensual physical contact with a female employee in the clubhouse.
The three-time Masters champion also left two other swanky golf clubs in Southern California for reasons that remain unclear. Mickelson insists he left the clubs of his own accord and has rejected claims he flashed a nude photo at Ashley.
Phil's Camp Denies Allegations
Mickelson denied claims he showed Ashley Perez a nude photo and disputed the allegations against him.
His spokesperson has called the supposed incident involving the country club staffer a "misunderstanding" that had been resolved, while his attorney has forcefully denied the allegations.
Mickelson's rep also says the golfer's wife, Amy, continues to support him "with extraordinary grace" and "unwavering love."
