Golf’s Big Truce Isn’t Out Of The Woods Yet
Listen now
Description
The bitter legal dispute that has swallowed up the golf world for the past year vanished in a flash this week, as the PGA Tour and its Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf rolled out a blockbuster agreement to join forces. The union would create a new golf organization, the exact shape of which is still taking place. Those particulars will be crucial, as any arrangement between the former competitors is likely to get a long look from antitrust watchdogs and national security regulators. This week on Pro Say we break down what the deal means for the legal fracas and the blowback over the PGA Tour’s new close ties with the Saudi government and its litany of alleged human rights abuses. Also this week, the law firm founded by a former Lewis Brisbois team has effectively collapsed after a month following the revelation of racist and sexist emails from its named partners, and parents fighting Florida’s ban on medical care for transgender adolescents get an initial win. Finally, a New York attorney is indicted for a scheme to steal 250,000 pairs of pants.
