Three LIV Golf rebels were asked why did they "care about the dust-collecting trophies of a bygone era?" as their legal bid to play in the FedEX Cup playoffs was dismissed by a judge.
Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford and Matt Jones took action over the PGA Tour's decision to ban them from competing in the St Jude Championship, the first of three events to crown the 2021/22 season champion. The trio, along with a host of others, are also suspended from other PGA tournaments over their decision to sign for Greg Norman's Saudi-backed venture.
And on Tuesday, in a damning legal verdict, Judge Beth Labson Freeman said the player had failed to prove "they have been harmed – let alone irreparably" as she emphatically dismissed their case. She also questioned why they would be interested in events outside the LIV tour if it was "elite golf's future."
