LIV Golf Makes Severe Conspiracy Allegations Against the PGA Tour and Its European Alliance

The feud between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour takes yet another turn. Ever since the incorporation of the Saudi-backed series, the two leagues have been butting heads. With players and fans choosing sides and lawsuits against each other, the two leagues have split the golf community in two.

Recently, LIV added a little more fuel to the already blazing fire. They roped in the European Tour and its CEO, Keith Pelley.

Six months before Greg Norman was named the CEO of LIV Golf, DP World Tour CEO, Keith Pelley and PGA Tour CEO, Jay Monahan met at the PGA’s headquarters in Florida. While to many this may have seemed like a regular visit between the two tours’ leaders, LIV Golf claims otherwise.

Recently, LIV filed a motion to subpoena European Tour officials. The Saudi side accused the two sides and said, “[They] worked together to destroy competition from LIV” by “conspiring to suspend LIV players from the ET and PGAT.” LIV is also seeking the removal of a European Tour representative in January, before the start of the antitrust trial.

LIV Golf further claimed that the pair worked together to deny World Ranking Points to the new series. Thus refuting its players’ access to the majors. LIV added that the Tours united “to preclude LIV’s access to vendors, sponsors, and broadcasters,” thus limiting the market for the new league.

The European Tour fights back

Keith Pelley and the DP World Tour were not going to take all the allegations sitting down. Their lawyers argued that the Saudi side could not force the removal of their executive without a legal standard.

They wrote, “LIV has made numerous unfounded and inflammatory allegations against [the] European Tour.” The lawyers also added that the Tour was not required to respond to “such baseless allegations in the context of a motion to quash.”
