SANTA MONICA, CA, February 25, 2025 – Today, Larry Klayman, Esq., the founder of both Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, a former Justice Department prosecutor who was on the trial team that broke up the AT&T monopoly, and former U.S. Senate candidate, announced the filing of a complaint in the Superior Court of Los Angeles, California, Santa Monica Division which covers Beverly Hills, alleging – based on hard evidence and not conjecture – that Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Davis Love III, and Fred Couples all conspired since the inception of the LIV Golf Tour, illegally and tortiously interfered with LIV players competing in major tournaments and prevented them from earning points with the Official Golf World Ranking (“OWGR”) such that the LIV players could not qualify to play in the majors and/or obtain exemptions from sponsors to play in the majors.
This case in Santa Monica near the site of the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club, is most revealing, and the complaint can be viewed at www.freedomwatchusa.org. It is linked below. Defendants Woods and McIlroy have lately been claiming to support LIV players and LIV Golf being merged with the PGA Tour and its players. Ironically and hypocritically, Woods appeared just last Thursday with President Trump at the White House with his Trump-awarded Medal of Freedom around his neck, promoting Black History Month and later meeting with the President, PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan, and LIV Golf founder and the Saudi Public Investment Funds CEO Yasir Al-Rumayyan.
President Trump should beware of Tiger Woods, whose lawyers in another competition case in Palm Beach, styled Klayman v. PGA Tour et.al, Civil Action No. 50-2022-CA-006587 (15th Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach, Florida), Hecker & Fink, are the exact same individuals who filed the complaint for rape against Trump by E. Jean Carroll. And Woods’s local counsel in that case is David Markus, who represented Hillary Clinton in another case involving Trump. The President is apparently unaware of this.
This newest legal action against Woods and his co-conspirators is styled Klayman v. Woods, McIlroy, Thomas, Love & Couples, Court Transaction No. 25LA00341382 (Sup. Ct. Los Angeles, Santa Monica Division). SEE ATTACHED CONFIRMATION OF FILING.
Klayman had this to say upon filing this latest suit:
“Tiger Woods and the other defendants are not what they try to appear to be and have done everything in their power to deprive golf fans and consumers from getting the benefit of their ticket purchases at major tournaments to enjoy the best golfers in the world on LIV and the PGA Tour from competing head-to-head. Woods in particular, who is idolized for his professional golfing success, is not the person portrayed in the pro-PGA Tour golfing media and is no boy scout. He will be shown to be a two-faced, devious ‘Tiger in sheep’s clothing,’ adding to his bad conduct and poor reputation in the other non-golfing aspects of this life.”
