The conflict between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf escalated Wednesday night as the PGA Tour has countersued LIV Golf.
LIV Golf, plus three golf pros are suing the PGA Tour for antitrust violations. The PGA Tour has fired back with a 72-page countersuit against those charges.
The PGA Tour says LIV Golf’s strategy is to, “intentionally induce TOUR members to breach their TOUR agreements and play in LIV events, while seeking to maintain their TOUR memberships and play in marquee TOUR events like The Players Championship and FedEx Cup Playoffs, so LIV can free ride off the TOUR and its platform.”
The complaint continues, “LIV has openly sought to damage the TOUR’s business relationships with its members by inducing them to breach their contractual requirements, even going so far as to pay members’ legal fees to make breaching their TOUR contracts more enticing.”
The move by the PGA Tour comes a day after Phil Mickelson, Ian Poulter, Talor Gooch and Hudson Swafford removed their names from LIV Golf’s lawsuit against the PGA Tour. Swafford and Gooch filed a temporary restraining order to allow them to play in the FedEx Cup playoffs, but were denied.
