The top-ranked golfer in the world, Scottie Scheffler, isn’t thrilled with the 11 LIV Golf players who have filed an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour, including Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford and Matt Jones, who are seeking a temporary restraining order that would allow them to play in the upcoming FedEx Cup playoffs.

“I’m definitely curious to see what’s going to happen,” Scheffler told ESPN’s Mark Schlabach. “It’s one of those deals where those guys kind of made their decision to go join another tour and they broke the rules and regulations of our tour and now they’re trying to sue us, which is definitely a bit frustrating. I heard that was going to happen and I know some guys aren’t surprised to see it, but I definitely am surprised to see some guys now suing us.”

The PGA Tour has banned any player who defected to LIV Golf from participating in its events.
