The web of legal intricacies surrounding the PGA Tour and LIV Golf just roped in Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.<\/p>\n

The two PGA Tour golfers were served subpoenas by attorney Larry Klayman ordering them to testify about the mysterious players-only meeting PGA Tour golfers last week, according to Golfweek. Klayman LIV golfer Patrick Reed in his $750 million lawsuit represents against Golf Channel and commentator Brandel Chamblee.<\/p>\n

Klayman is reportedly seeking more information about a meeting he claims violated antitrust laws. From Golfweek:<\/p>\n

The lawyer claims the meeting was “anticompetitive and violative of the antitrust laws vis a vis the LIV Golf Tour and its players,” and that the changes the PGA Tour revealed continuing Wednesday are an attempt to “emulate LIV Golf, while to allegedly harm LIV and its players by, among other alleged anticompetitive acts, working to deny them world ranking points to compete in major tournaments such as the Masters, US Open, British Open and PGA Championship.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Woods was reportedly given notice to appear in court on Sept. 21, while McIlroy is due one day later on Sept. 22. PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan was also reportedly subpoenaed for Sept. 27.<\/p>\n

Woods and McIlroy have emerged as two of the PGA Tour’s staunchest allies among the players in its battle against the Saudi Arabian-owned LIV Golf, with McIlroy never hesitating to offer a soundbite critical of the rival tour and its players and Woods reportedly helping make decisions behind closed doors.<\/p>\n

The pair also recently announced the launching of TMRW Sports, a technology-focused, PGA Tour-allied golf league.<\/p>\n
