The facts
LIV Golf, currently in a court‑supervised restructuring, accused the DP World Tour of a “clear attempt to interfere” after the European tour announced it will refuse membership to anyone playing on the LIV circuit next season. At a Wednesday hearing, LIV attorney Rob Fitzgerald said the tour’s stance was “quite concerning” and raised anti‑competitive worries. DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings told BBC Sport that players must choose between the tours. The bankruptcy court has rejected 19 player contracts, including those of Bryson DeChambeau and Dustin Johnson, and noted LIV owes its participants at least $45 million. The restructuring is expected to conclude in early 2027.
Our take
Listen to this pathetic fucking whimper from the world’s most expensive hobby. LIV Golf, a financial corpse being picked over by bankruptcy vultures, sent its lawyer to court to cry that the DP World Tour is a big, bad bully. Their crime? Telling players they can’t hold a membership while the tour simply enforces its own rules. The sheer, unadulterated nerve of these clowns is breathtaking. You are a Chapter 11 charity case, a four‑year hospice that ends in 2027, yet you complain about interference from a tour that actually runs events. That’s like a guy whose house is collapsing complaining the neighbor won’t lend him a lawnmower. It’s not interference, you absolute cunts, it’s a refusal to participate in your delusion. Fitzgerald’s “clear attempt to interfere” line sounds like a toddler’s tantrum after being told they can’t have both ice cream and cake. The DP World Tour’s CEO, Guy Kinnings, said players have to choose – a simple, business‑as‑usual decision. LIV built a fantasy buffet of unlimited play, now a real organization is serving a choose‑one menu. That’s not anti‑competitive, you greedy bastards, that’s how jobs work. The court has already torn up 19 contracts, and LIV still owes $45 million. Instead of paying what they owe, they demand a judge force the tour to pretend LIV is a legitimate competitor. Stop sniveling about interference and pay the forty‑five million dollars you owe.
