I wish i could down vote this more than once, as it is patently false.

Phil would never have gotten away with it if Mike Slive were still in charge.

The SEC said that Walters called and then sent text messages to Mickelson, who ultimately bought a $2.4 million position in three accounts he controlled. Those securities “dwarfed” Mickelson’s other holdings, which were collectively valued at less than $250,000, the SEC said. Mickelson had not been a frequent trader, and these were his first Dean Foods purchases, the SEC said. Mickelson made a profit of approximately $931,000 from the stock, which he held for about a week.


He got greedy.

If you are a responsible adult and don't bet more than you can afford to lose, it can be fun.

He's being sued by the SEC to return the money he made from that insider tip, but he isn't being prosecuted for insider trading.

Phil is one of the biggest gamblers on the Tour. He's well known for high stakes gambling on the practice rounds the Wed or Thur before a tourney starts. To the extent he's known to really push some of the Tour's younger players to put their money up. How this relates to an insider trading can be argued, but the "greedy" comment fits both stories.

You could say the same thing about alcohol.

Anything can be harmful if you don't know your limits.
