Tiger, Rory, Couples, Justin Thomas, and David Love III Sued for Tortious Interference with LIV Golf

Today, Larry Klayman, Esq., the founder of both Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, a former Justice Department prosecutor who was on the trial team that broke up the AT&T monopoly, and former U.S. Senate candidate, announced the filing of a complaint in the Superior Court of Los Angeles, California, Santa Monica Division which covers Beverly Hills, alleging – based on hard evidence and not conjecture – that Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Davis Love III, and Fred Couples all conspired since the inception of the LIV Golf Tour, illegally and tortiously interfered with LIV players competing in major tournaments and prevented them from earning points with the Official Golf World Ranking (“OWGR”) such that the LIV players could not qualify to play in the majors and/or obtain exemptions from sponsors to play in the majors.

This case in Santa Monica near the site of the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club, is most revealing, and the complaint can be viewed atwww.freedomwatchusa.org. It is linked below. Defendants Woods and McIlroy have lately been claiming to support LIV players and LIV Golf being merged with the PGA Tour and its players. Ironically and hypocritically, Woods appeared just last Thursday with President Trump at the White House with his Trump-awarded Medal of Freedom around his neck, promoting Black History Month and later meeting with the President, PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan, and LIV Golf founder and the Saudi Public Investment Funds CEO Yasir Al-Rumayyan.

Zinkland Golf Design Completes Restoration of Old Elm Club

Zinkand Golf Design(ZGD) – led by golf course architect David Zinkand and his more than 25 years of experience designing, managing and shaping projects in the field – has completed a multi-year bunker and greens restoration project at suburban Chicago’s Old Elm Club.

Thanks to the course’s one-of-a-kind design pedigree, the engagement represented a unique opportunity for ZGD and its principal designer, David Zinkand. Harry S. Colt routed the golf course in 1913 during one of his rare visits to the United States. Donald Ross then led the construction, including its greens, during his absence. Together, these two legends of the “Golden Age” of golf course architecture are credited with 16 designs among GOLF Magazine’s 2023-24 Top 100 Courses in the World. Yet Old Elm, recently ranked among GOLF Magazine’s 2024-25 Top 100 Courses in the U.S., represents the only project where the two men crossed paths.
