The three-time Masters Champion made almost $1 million from the 2012 trading, according to a complaint Thursday by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC termed him a “relief defendant.” That means Mickelson wasn’t accused of wrongdoing, but was named in the complaint to recover his profits.
