The PGA Tour is depriving golf fans by barring LIV Golf participants from playing in its tour events, a lawsuit filed in Palm Beach County claims.
According to the lawsuit, filed Tuesday on behalf of Boca Raton attorney Larry Klayman, the PGA Tour and its partner, the DP World Tour, are listed as defendants. It claims that suspending golfers who play in the LIV Golf tournaments is anti-competitive in the free-agent marketplace.
The lawsuit, which is seeking class-action status, claims Klayman purchased admission to three PGA Tour events and “is committed to” purchasing tickets to the Players Championship and the Honda Classic. As a result, Klayman claims “the proposed plaintiff class of similarly-situated Florida residents have suffered damages greater than $30,000.”
