A lawsuit initially brought by players against golf’s biggest touring body is now pitting the PGA Tour directly against the wealth of Saudi Arabia
Since the beginning of the high-profile legal wranglings between the PGA Tour and its rival LIV Golf last year, the Tour has consistently angled to place LIV’s backing from Saudi Arabia at the center of the feud.

A ruling issued late Tuesday will allow the Tour to add Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, LIV’s financial backer, and its governor, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, as defendants in its lawsuit against LIV.
