The PGA Tour Wins The First Battle Of The Golf War

The American circuit wins in court three golfers expelled for joining the Saudi league LIV.

In just over 24 hours, the PGA Tour FedEx Cup playoffs kick off with a certain air of euphoria. A California federal judge, Beth Labson Freeman, ruled against three of LIV's golfers, Matt Jones, Talor Gooch and Hudson Swafford, who were claiming playoff rights after qualifying during the season. Months ago, the PGA Tour expelled them for their signing for the Saudi competition. The judge denied in her sentence that there was "irreparable economic damage" for the three golfers, since the three had signed a succulent contract with LIV. The loss comes as a surprise after a court granted other DP World Tour players the chance to compete under identical conditions.

In addition, the decision of the California court is a setback for the circuit directed by Greg Norman , although it will only be the first chapter of many that lie ahead: another lawsuit by 10 players is already underway on the PGA Tour accusing them of monopoly. However, this case will not be opened for more than a year. During the trial, the minutes in Memphis were eternal and Jay Monahan, commissioner of the PGA Tour, could be seen for much of the afternoon, alone in a corner of the practice field pending the telephone. The trial was broadcast in real time on social networks.

CAMERON SMITH, IMMINENT MARCH TO LIV

Among this year's top 125 players on the PGA Tour who will contest the first of the playoffs, the Fedex St. Jude Championship, which begins Thursday, two proper names stand out above the rest. The first, the Australian Cameron Smith, who returns to competition after winning The Open Championship in St. Andrews. Yesterday the Telegraph newspaper confirmed that his signing for LIV will be effective after the playoffs.

Smith, according to the British newspaper, would have signed a contract of about 100 million dollars and would join the test that LIV will play in early September in Boston. The news coincided with the press conference offered by the Australian player, current number two in the world, who avoided speaking on the news up to four times, although he did not deny the fact at any time. The announcement could come in a couple of weeks. Other names like Cameron Young, Hideki Matsuyama or the Chilean Joaco Nieman could be very close to following in his footsteps, although perhaps yesterday's sentence may offer some reluctance to make the final decision.

RAHM, FATHER FOR THE SECOND TIME.

Jon Rahm will also be in Memphis this week after becoming a father for the second time. Little Eneko was born hours before the Spaniard left for this important appointment. Both the child and the mother Kelley are in perfect condition. Rahm will be the only Spanish representative in these FedEx Cup playoffs, after Sergio García resigned from the PGA Tour and focused his career on LIV golf.
