LIV Golf defector Patrick Reed’s attorney Larry Klayman has filed an antitrust case against the PGA Tour. According to reports, PGA Tour’s lawyers even tried to get the lawsuit dismissed but failed. The judge denied the dismissal of the lawsuit last month and the case has been going on for quite some time now.

Larry Klayman has also included Rory McIlroy and Davis Love III as reported “co-conspirators” in his suit. Moreover, he also talked about Tiger Woods and said he had “little respect” toward the lawsuit.

“Mr. Woods, like all parties and deponents in this case, will be treated with respect. However, as of today, it would appear that Mr. Woods has little respect for our legal right to depose him,” his suit said.

Klayman also stated that Tiger Woods is not going to be treated any differently than other American citizens, and therefore will have to appear in court.

Things went overboard when Klayman also included Tiger Woods’ past in his suit. “Given his prior experiences with the law, this is unfortunate…the process server has attempted five different times and Mr. Woods has not made himself available to accept service or have someone else accept service on his behalf.”

It is surprising for someone to target Tiger Woods specifically among all responsible to answer for the PGA Tour. However, Klayman is not the only one who believes that Woods is avoiding the notice.

According to civil process server Katelyn Miller, she has tried to deliver the notice to Woods Jupiter mansion. Moreover, she also tried to get it delivered at the TGR Foundation headquarters but had to return as the security guard claimed that Woods was not in the country. “Based on my experience as a process server, Mr. Woods appears to be intentionally evading service,” she said.

No matter how things go in the future, Woods will have to go by the law to keep things safe for himself. After all, the last thing the golf legend needs is a red mark on his legal records. And as it turns out, it is no more a matter of just two rival tours.
