LIV Golf players suing the PGA Tour 'frustrating,' says Scottie Scheffler, No. 1-ranked player in the world

A federal judge in California is expected to make a decision Tuesday on whether to grant a temporary restraining order that would allow three golf players who left the PGA Tour to play in the FedEx Cup playoffs.

The world's top-ranked player is curious to see if Talor Gooch, Matt Jones, and Hudson Swafford will join him at TPC Southwind.

Attorneys for the three LIV Golf players and the PGA Tour will be in San Jose, California, on Tuesday to argue before the US District Judge.

The antitrust lawsuit was filed by Gooch, Jones, Swafford and eight other players.

"I'm interested to see what happens," he said. It was one of those deals where the guys decided to join another tour and broke the rules and regulations of our tour and now they're trying to file a lawsuit against us. I know some guys aren't surprised to see it, but I am surprised that some guys are now taking us to court.

The court proceedings won't be a distraction as he prepares for the FedEx Cup playoffs, said the only player who has won four times on tour this season.

"If they win, come out here and play, that's up to the courts," he added. I have no control over what happens in a court case. It doesn't affect my preparation for the week.

LIV Golf, and especially which players might still be defecting to the Saudi Arabian-financed circuit after this season, is still a hot topic in the locker room. The tour is being led by Greg Norman and several big-name players are linked to it.

"Yes, to each their own," he said. I won't talk about the guys that are going to LIV. That is what they want to do. The only thing I'm going to do is discuss my approach. If they are going to leave, what are they going to do?

For the past several months, he has been clear about where he wants to play in the future.

He thinks the best place to play is on the PGA Tour. I wanted to play on the tour. My dream was not to have more money. I'm fortunate to play golf and get paid for it, so I don't want to do anything else.
