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.
