A federal judge in Memphis denied a temporary restraining order against three golf players who left the PGA Tour to play in a new series.
The players, Talor Gooch, Matt Jones, and Hudson Swafford, were seeking relief to participate in the first leg of the playoffs.
The top 125 players in the FedEx Cup are eligible to play. Gooch is 20th and Jones is 65th. The players were suspended by the commissioner of the tour after they appeared in a golf tournament.
The Tour's position that the players' argument for emergency relief was of their own making was agreed to by the district court judge.
The lawyer for the tour argued that they made a business decision to get money. In the last two months, they have made more money than they have ever made on the tour. They have already been compensated for their complaints.
The antitrust lawsuit was filed by Gooch, Jones and other players against the tour.
