Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford, and Matt Jones
On Tuesday, a court challenge against the position taken by the PGA Tour against LIV Golf is scheduled to take place in San Jose, California. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California has set a date for an in-person hearing for the three players – Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford, and Matt Jones – who have challenged the Tour’s suspension for violating the circuit’s policies and playing in the LIV Series league.
The suspension was issued because the players participated in the LIV Series league. The players have submitted a request for a temporary restraining order in the hopes that it will clear the way for them to participate in the FedExCup playoffs, which will get underway in Memphis on Thursday.

The hearing will take place in front of Judge Beth Labson Freeman and is set to begin at 1 p.m. Pacific Time (PT). The Tour has until Monday morning at 8 a.m. PT to file any response to the players’ application for relief.
Eleven players, including Gooch, Swafford, and Jones, have challenged the Tour’s decision to suspend its members who took part in any of the LIV Golf events by filing an antitrust case against the circuit. It is now unknown which, if any, of the players who are requesting relief will show up to the hearing on Tuesday.
