Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau and nine other LIV golfers filed an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour concerning their respective suspensions, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Additionally, Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford and Matt Jones want a temporary restraining order so they can compete in the Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs. The trio qualified before signing with the Saudi-backed league, and the playoffs are slated to begin next week with the St. Jude Championship. The playoffs have significant prizes, money and branding opportunities, and strong outings land the golfers in major championships.
The Tour suspended the players after they signed with LIV Golf, citing its bylaws. There are other LIV golfers that instead resigned from their memberships in wake of their move to the rival.
