An antitrust lawsuit to determine whether LIV Golf defectors should be allowed to play on the PGA Tour may not be resolved until 2024 after a delay to proceedings.
Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau and Ian Poulter were among the 11 banned players named in the suit, which was announced earlier in August. A summary judgement will take place on July 23, 2023, but it's understood the trial hearing won't occur until January 8, 2024.
Carlos Ortiz and one other unnamed golfer from the original 11 have withdrawn from the antitrust suit. Ortiz's manager previously announced his client "does not want to be involved in any legal battles," while attorneys indicated only nine players are now due to provide discovery material in the case.
