The golf dispute between the controversial LIV series and the PGA Tour goes to court. The “Saudi League” showers the players with money and now wants to lure women. Donald Trump is also involved.
LIV Golf makes headlines almost every day, mostly with the fact that another pro has joined the Saudi-funded rival series. Most recently it was the two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson, like almost all renegades a professional who has not won a tournament for a long time.
After the US Department of Justice had already announced that it would investigate the PGA Tour for possible antitrust violations in connection with LIV Golf, an American court now has to deal with the feud between the PGA Tour and the “Saudi League”. A total of eleven professionals from the USA, Australia, Mexico and England, including the Americans Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau, are suing the PGA Tour in a 105-page document.
