The Latest: Phil Mickelson to repay $1 million in SEC case (The Associated Press)

NEW YORK (AP) -- The Latest on an SEC insider trading case involving golfer Phil Mickelson (all times local):

12:25 p.m.

Professional golfer Phil Mickelson has agreed to forfeit nearly $1 million dollars that the Securities And Exchange Commission says he earned in an illegal insider trading scheme.

The SEC says a gambler named William Walters received tips and business information about Dean Foods Co. from former Dean Foods director Thomas Davis between 2008 and 2012.

Authorities say one of those tips was passed along to Mickelson, who made a big, successful stock trade with the information.
