Golf’s PGA And LIV Formally Declare Legal Peace, But Investigations By Others Continue

deadline.com:

As expected, the PGA Tour and LIV Golf have agreed that they won’t sue each other, ending a long legal battle. The news arrives today after last week’s blockbuster announcement that the two organizations will merge.

Their agreement included a provision that called for all pending litigation between the tour and PIF to be dropped within 10 days.

However, the deal between the two golfing entities doesn’t mean they are free and clear on entanglements. Earlier on Friday, the New York Times filed a motion to intervene, asserting the public’s right of access to court records.

The order will be heard on Aug. 3, 2023. The Times is undoubtedly trying to learn more about the involvement of LIV’s financial backer, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.
