Prominent golf champion Phil Mickelson and three other professional golfers are asking to be removed from LIV Golf's antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour.

Mickelson, Talor Gooch, Ian Poulter, and Hudson Swafford filed court documents to drop out as plaintiffs in the suit against the PGA Tour that accuses it of engaging in monopolistic practices by suspending them from its tournaments due to their participation in LIV.“Nothing has changed. The merits of the case — the PGA Tour’s anticompetitive conduct — still stand,” a LIV spokesperson said in a statement to the Washington Examiner after the players dropped out of the suit.

“I am pleased that the players on Tour are finally being heard, respected, and valued and are benefiting from the changes recently implemented. With LIV’s involvement in these issues, the players’ rights will be protected, and I no longer feel it is necessary for me to be part of the proceedings,” he said, per the WSJ.

Multiple players are still named as plaintiffs in the suit against the PGA, but with Mickelson off the suit, LIV has lost one of the most prominent names in golf in the legal squabble against the PGA Tour. LIV Golf is a nascent golf tournament that has been perceived as a rival to the PGA Tour, which has long been a dominant tournament in the golfing world. Headed by former champion Greg Norman, LIV has tapped into a lucrative war chest from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund.
