“The hypocrisy is blatant”: Twitter reacts as LIV Golf players file anti-trust lawsuit against PGA Tour in bout of anger

LIV Golf Series

The LIV Golf Series has been the centre of quite a lot of controversy since its inception. Recently, the situation was further heightened, as 11 golfers from the Series filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the PGA Tour after heavy sanctions and indefinite suspensions from the latter. The matter seems to have escalated quite a lot, as it has caught the attention of the entire golf world.

In response to the suspension of the defectors, the LIV series has decided to file an antitrust lawsuit with Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeauand nine other golfers. The lawsuit was submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The point of the lawsuit is to allow the golfers to play both the PGA Tour as well as the LIV Series as the golfers want to. This however is sparking a debate on Twitter as to the validity of the lawsuit.

“The Tour’s conduct serves no purpose other than to cause harm to players and foreclose the entry of the first meaningful competitive threat the Tour has faced in decades,” the lawsuit alleges.

“The purpose of this action is to strike down the PGA Tour’s anticompetitive rules and practices that prevent these independent-contractor golfers from playing when and where they choose,” the lawsuit stated.

“We welcome good, healthy competition,” said Jay Monahan in June. “The LIV Saudi Golf League is not that. It’s an irrational threat, one not concerned with the return on investment or true growth of the game,” he said in interest of the PGA.
