The PGA Tour have failed to get LIV ’s lawsuit against them overturned, which has been described as a “major victory” for Greg Norman and co, according to reports. Last month a lawsuit was filed in Florida alleging that the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour, and the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) had come together to try and vanquish LIV.
US Senate candidate, attorney Larry Klayman claimed Jay Monohan, the PGA Tour commissioner, and DP World Tour CEO Keith Pelley have broken laws in an attempt to restrain trade. After the PGA had their motion to overturn the lawsuit dismissed, the delighted 71-year-old described the result as a wonderful moment for LIV.
“This is the first time that the PGA Tour and Monahan have ‘taken it on the chin” and lost a motion to dismiss an antitrust complaint filed against them,” he said via a statement released by Freedom Watch. “What is significant is that this case will now proceed to discovery, and for the first time, the PGA Tour and its commissioner will be held accountable for anticompetitive conduct.
