Attorney Larry Klayman is not backing down in his legal battle against Tiger Woods and the PGA Tour. After his antitrust claim was dismissed, Klayman has launched a new legal action, alleging fraud in the handling of the original case.
Klayman’s initial antitrust case, filed in 2022, accused the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, Official World Golf Ranking, and top golfers like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy of colluding to restrict competition from the LIV Golf League. Although this case was thrown out, it is now under review by the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.
In his new complaint, Klayman claims that Judge Luis Delgado, who presided over the case, purposely delayed proceedings to prevent Woods’ alleged illegal activities from being exposed to the public. Klayman emphasized that no one, not even a golfing legend like Tiger Woods, is above the law.
He criticized the compromised state of the legal system, where powerful defendants and their lawyers can manipulate judges with false statements to protect their interests. Klayman stated that his decision to file the new case was based on his commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring fair competition in professional golf.
Despite the potential backlash and personal conflicts that may arise from this legal battle, Klayman remains steadfast in his mission to “Make Professional Golf Great Again” for fans and consumers who value genuine competition in the sport.
While Tiger Woods has decided to skip the Hero World Challenge amidst these legal troubles, the outcome of Klayman’s new case could have significant implications for the future of professional golf and the integrity of the sport. As the legal proceedings unfold, golf enthusiasts and industry stakeholders will be closely watching to see how this legal dispute impacts the landscape of competitive golf.
