PGA Tour Accuses LIV Golf’s Saudi Benefactors of Claiming Immunity from U.S. Courts

LIV Golf’s financing from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign-wealth fund has loomed over the upstart golf circuit since its inception, above all in its battles with the PGA Tour. 

Now, the PGA Tour has accused LIV of making an attempt to evade discovery of their high-profile courtroom battle by claiming that there isn’t any courtroom within the U.S. with jurisdiction over LIV’s monetary backer, Saudi Arabia’s Public Funding Fund, and its governor, Yasir Al-Rumayyan.
