PGA Tour 'countersues LIV' as legal battle takes dramatic twist amid golf's civil war

The PGA Tour have 'countersued' their fierce rivals LIV Golf, according to The Athletic . The two circuits have been embroiled in a civil war for months, following LIV's efforts to lure in some of the sport's biggest names.

As the likes of Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka signed mega-money deals to sign for the contentious Saudi-backed series, the PGA Tour inflicted sanctions on those that defected - suspending them from competition.

In response both their players - 11 stars which is now only down to three - and LIV Golf themselves filed a lawsuit against the game's flagship tour on antitrust violations. The PGA Tour though have now reportedly hit back, having allegedly 'countersued' the LIV Golf Series, whilst also denying the antitrust claims against them.
