Have they been dropped? I know that both sides agreed to drop them but didn't realize that had actually taken place already.
-
From what I’ve read, there seems to be a distinct possibility that this never comes to fruition If that is the case, do both sides agree to drop the litigation and thus the discovery aspect?
-
Rory knew that talks were occurring, by his own admission. You are correct though in that this article, nor others that I have read, give specific facts to show that he knew of the merger/acquisition. I would guess that he (along with a select few other players) was privy to that knowledge but I don’t know that.
-
It seems as though Rory had previous knowledge that a deal may have been in the works. Newcastle chief Amanda Staveley's role in PGA Tour-LIV Golf saga after Rory McIlroy chat - Mirror Online The PGA Tour and LIV Golf have merged after a year of war between the two competitions, with the latter enlisting...

That is likely true, although I have no actual knowledge of whether he approached committee members or PGAT administration with concerns. Had this been the message posted, I would have had no issues with it.
-
I wasn’t offended at all. You were the one that said that Phil did nothing to bring about changes.
-
I expected better than this.

Without big name players (like Phil) signing with LIV, I highly doubt that any of these changes occur. I would say absolitely these players have affected changes to the PGAT by signing with the Saudi backed league Forcing change in the PGAT most likely wasn’t the reason they signed with LIV. That was most likely money, plain and simple. I would say that it’s possible (maybe even likely) that most of these defectors had issues with some tour policies. I don’t disagree with this at all. I don’t think I’ve ever suggested otherwise.
-
Yes, sir. How else is this statement to be interpreted? “He could have done this without being paid by Saudi Arabia.”
-
Your post above doesn’t specifically say it, but it strongly suggests that these changes could have been achieved without LIV influence. I’m not suggesting that Phil (and others that left) went for the money. I definitely think that they did. Having said that, I think that without LIV it’s more than likely that none of the changes we are seeing from the PGAT ever happen. Edit: I also can’t really say that I blame any of those players for taking the pay day that LIV offered.
-
I think that anyone who believes that the PGAT administration makes these moves without the influence and competition that LIV has provided is naive. Regardless, I feel that these changes are likely to improve their product and be a positive for golf fans. I’m in favor of that.
-
It seems that Phil and LIV have helped to bring about some positive change to the PGAT. 🤞🏻

From what I've read it seems that legality plays no role in the result of a TRO, but then again I'm no lawyer.
-
I agree. I think the reason that the TRO was denied was because there was no real basis for irreparable injury/damage. I'm no lawyer, and don't claim to be, but from what I've read that was the problem with the TRO as far as those 3 golfers were concerned. Temporary restraining order

This link was posted on the LIV thread in response to a question that I asked there. I felt that this might have been off-topic for that thread. What is the minimum number of PGA Tour events a golfer must play each season? What is the minimum number of PGA Tour events a golfer must play each season? The minimum is pretty low. A hypothetical situation: A PGAT player who does not have a win or lifetime exemption status plays in only 10 events during a season. In those ten events he earns enough points to qualify for a tour card for the next season. As I read the article, it seems to me that he would have to be ineligible for the tour card for the next season. He obviously loses his voting status for the next season, but does he get his tour card? I have also read tonight on another site that the 25 event requirement has been relaxed somewhat (that article is from 2018). Does anyone know if that is correct? If so, what is the new relaxed requirement?
