The lawsuits have a few objectives. I think the 3 wanting to play Fedx will get a Stay and be allowed to play at Fedx as they HAVE qualified etc. WOW, that will be fun to watch, even them just attending BUT imaging if 1 of them wins. SECURITY, SECURITY.
The Anti-Trust suit from the 11 players will take a long time to litigate, years. this is much murkier and deep so don’t know how that plays out. BUT there is a bigger reason for the Anti-Trust case. It’s not really about wining or loosing because I don’t think many of these guys want to play ANY of the PGA events, just the MAJORS. SO, I believe this is a “Shot over the Bow” of the 4 Majors organizers and the OWGR committee. LIV is puffing out its chest and saying you want to Mess with us, we have deep pockets and WILL litigate, so you other Organizations better be very very careful as to what decisions you make regards to LIV players with OWGR and with playing in Majors etc etc.
On that note, the Majors could easily adopt NEW requirements making exceptions for LIV players REGARDLESS of OWGR rankings. Augusta might say, we will invite 15 LIV players at our discretion. I also think LIV should have its OWN Ranking system for its players ( which the Majors could then refer to in picking ) the system could be similar to OWGR with some improvement such as focusing more on the golfer’s stats, as well as course difficulty and field strength etc etc etc.… you get the idea. This also gives the LIV players EVEN MORE motivation to do well.
The 4 Majors surely do not want a watered down, weaker field with the big Brand Name players not being there ( regardless of their current OWGR ). There would always be that Asterix in the history books. Also, the sponsors are not going to like having the 10 or so big household names not there and don’t forget LIV WILL get at least a couple more top 10 players. Probably Smith and Hideki ?
Lastly an important point in the suit. The plaintiff points to the fact that the PGA has been threating Vendors they use, food catering services, Marqui vendors, suppliers, IT vendors/contractors that if they are used by LIV or do work for LIV, they will be banned from all future deals/contracts with the PGA, that is Anti-Trust.
Thanks for expanding on legal points. Your last paragraph really tells the story how anticompetitive and morally reprehensible the PGA Tour has acted.
@Dick Davidson Cheers. I think the Suit by the “LIV Eleven” ( thought of that myself😊😊 ), really is more about sending a message to the 4 Majors and OWGR. I don’t think the 11 really want to go play on the PGA. People talk about history and Legacy that really is to do with Majors. Most Pga events are not that relevant from a historical or legacy standpoint.
Excellent post with some very important points there, Leeches.
And I also agree completely that this will be a long drawn out legal saga, but that it was also a very smart move by LIV’s players to fire this opening legal salvo, which will go a long ways toward exposing the PGA’s ruthless practices with a much brighter spotlight, and set the tone that those practices won’t be allowed to go on forever unchallenged.
For their part, the best move the majors can make is maintain the status quo and continue to allow any eligible or qualified player to play, as they wisely did this year.
The OWGR will eventually sort itself out, and no one seriously cares that much about the OWGR most days anyways.
They would be wise to acknowledge LIV golfers and figure out a way of ranking them in a way that’s fair and makes sense.
@Tony K. Agree 100%
That was informative, thank you !
Excellent analysis
How can LIV Golf thrive if perceived by public as connected to 9/11
