The Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series has joined the antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour in an amended complaint in which four golfers originally listed on the original lawsuit have withdrawn their names.
Carlos
Ortiz, Abraham Ancer, Pat Perez and Jason Kokrak withdrew their names,
leaving just seven golfers including six-time major champion Phil
Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau along with LIV Golf as the plaintiffs in
the lawsuit.
Earlier
this month, 11 golfers participating in the LIV Golf series filed an
antitrust lawsuit to challenge their suspensions by the PGA Tour.
Three
golfers still listed on the lawsuit -- Matt Jones, Talor Gooch and
Hudson Swafford -- had their request for a temporary restraining order
to play in the FedEx Cup playoffs denied by a judge earlier in August.
The amended complaint was filed on Friday in the US District Court in Northern California.
