LIV Golf is facing a new lawsuit from broadcast tech provider Mobii Systems over more than $1 million in unpaid fees, the second legal action against the league this month alone.
Australian golf star Cameron Smith has shut down retirement talk with a laugh, declaring: “I’ve got a while yet,” while insisting he’s been given “every assurance” LIV Golf isn’t going anywhere.
Tiger Woods says he never received scripted comments reportedly sent from the PGA Tour last year when the tour was intensifying its defensive stance against the just launched LIV Golf circuit.
The framework agreement between the PGA Tour, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and DP World Tour only broadly outlines how the former rival entities intend to coexist, with LIV Golf’s future still undetermined.
Mike Whan knows as much as you do about the PGA Tour’s proposed partnership with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Which is to say, not much at all.
In response to last week’s announcement that the PGA Tour will attempt to partner with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, LIV Golf’s Martin Kaymer told the Telegraph that golf’s “hypocrites” should go play in Japan.
Should the ruling hold – Freeman has scheduled a hearing for Friday – it would give unprecedented access into the business dealings of the sovereign wealth fund, which Saudi Arabia has long fought to keep secret.
The judge did rule in LIV’s favour that the tour must narrow its scope of subpoenas, writing the subpoenas “suffer from overbreadth both in scope and number of requests.”
A request has been filed by PGA Tour attorneys seeking a new trial date in its battle with LIV Golf, along with an extension to the document discovery process.
The request was filed in the Federal District Court in San Jose, California, where LIV Golf initially filed its antitrust lawsuit against the tour last August.
LIV’s tournaments do not have history nor identity to build upon. There is no precedent for this team concept in professional golf. It’s a not-small mountain to climb. LIV hopes to spend its way to the top.
Multiple sources, some of whom spent years working at Pumpkin Ridge, described the local conversation around the first LIV event in the US as tense, divisive and the last thing the Portland area needed.
