Mickelson 'shocked' about recent college admissions scandal
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Phil Mickelson admitted that he and his family are “shocked” by recent revelations and federal charges surrounding a college recruitment company that he and his family have used for the past three years.
Mickelson and his wife, Amy, have used the services of The Key and its CEO, William “Rick” Singer, in the college search process for all three of their children. This week Singer was arrested and pled guilty to four federal charges tied to a scheme in which his company would bribe university officials and sometimes create fraudulent athletic profiles to help certain applicants gain access to highly sought-after schools. Singer now faces up to 65 years in prison.
