While the most important thing to come out of the federal court hearing in San Jose, California, was that Judge Beth Labson Freeman wouldn’t grant a temporary restraining order to allow three LIV Golf players to compete in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs, there were several other nuggets discussed Tuesday that are worth another look.
LIV golfers Talor Gooch, Matt Jones and Hudson Swafford had requested the temporary restraining order that was denied. They would have earned enough points in the season-long FedEx Cup qualifying to have made the playoffs, but they won’t be allowed to tee it up Thursday in the FedEx St. Jude Championship after Judge Freeman ruled that their Tour suspensions would stand, at least for now.
