I would hazard a guess that the Saudis are bankrolling the suit. These guys mostly resigned, they knew that the PGA had rules which they agreed to, for in some cases decades, and didn't object and it's debateable that LIV is in effect "dumping", as its enterprise is massively unprofitable.

@CameronPercy on Twitter: Are people aware LIV are paying $120000 a tournament to guys who are on a contract but don’t play? 82 contracted players. 48 play. That’s a lot of $$ to do nothing.

Judge rules against LIV golfers who want to have their cake and eat it.

apparently during the hearing it was leaked that the LIV players have tournament winnings deducted from their contract amount. So they are all playing for nothing.

That's bizarre. So when they say each LIV Tournament is worth $25 million or whatever, in fact they don't pay any of that out at all? |

I watched an interview yesterday on Twitter where that was denied. There seem to be conflicting reports. It might well depend on the size of the retainer. |

I see LIV-man Richard Bland is playing the European tour event in N.Ireland this week.
I can't quite figure that one out..

Aren't many bands/artists on contracts like this? They get a big advance then a whole bunch of deductions before they ever get paid again? Given these contracts are so big, it doesn't seem impossible to me. Guess if you win one or two of these, you are going to burn through the minimum quite quickly, so many will get paid when they win, but it might not be the full amount of the prize money? |

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Richard Bland is the defending champion this week in NI and as such has a two-year exemption.
