The PGA Tour is seeking to add the $676-billion sovereign wealth fund and its governor to its lawsuit. It claims the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf is competing unfairly by luring PGA players with millions of dollars to breach their contracts. The PGA and LIV are deadlocked over records sought by each side ahead of a trial set for January 2024. The fight between the rival golf tours began with 11 professional golfers, including Phil Mickelson, Matt Jones, and Talor Gooch, having sued the PGA in August for suspending them after they joined LIV. PGA has been wrangling with PIF and Al-Rumayyan over information the tour wants from the fund and the governor, with a ruling on that fight expected soon. LIV claims the PFA Tour is a monopolist keen on sabotaging a new rival golf tour, and is seeking $1.5 billion in damages from PGA for the alleged breach of its contracts and brand damage to LIV’s brand and reputation in the U.S. and Europe. The request for a May 18 hearing on its request, which must be approved by a judge, is expected to be made in federal court in San Jose, California, on Tuesday. It comes as the Pga and L IV are deadlock over records seeking by each sides ahead of the trial set in January 2024, which is set to take place in Saudi Arabia. The case isMickelson v. Pga Tour Inc., 22-cv-04486, US District Court, Northern District of California (San Jose).
