  "account": "On September 30, TMZ reported that professional golfer Phil Mickelson had sought treatment at an addiction center. The news outlet cited family trauma and addiction as the reasons for Mickelson's check-in at the facility. Mickelson was reported to have already checked out of the treatment center, as confirmed by a statement from his representative. However, Reuters was unable to immediately obtain a comment from Mickelson's team. In April, Mickelson had stated that he was taking an extended break from competitive golf due to a personal health matter. He had only played one event for the LIV Golf circuit that year and later withdrew from the PGA Championship due to family health reasons.",
