>> reporter: f.b.i. agents
confronted the three-time
master's champion at a
tournament in dublin ohio.
the f.b.i. and s.e.c. are
reportedly looking at two
others, billionaire investor
carl icahn and sports bettor
billy walters who was profiled
by "60 minutes" in 2011 and is
said to be mickelson's friend
and golf partner.
michael rothfeld is a reporter
for the "wall street journal"
who broke the story.
what first caught the eye on
investigators?
>> there was suspicious trading
in clorox which is a company
carl icahn took a big stake in
and actually made a big offer
for.
>> reporter: the journal reports
in july of 2011, days before
icahn launched that offer, large
trades in clorox options were
made.
once icahn made the bid the
options rose.
the papers says regulators
traced the suspicious trades
back to mickelson and walters
and are now trying to figure out
if icahn tipped off walters
about his buy out...
