And Then There Were Nine…Anchorers Lawyered Up

Emily Kay talks to attorney Harry Manion who represents Tim Clark, Carl Pettersson and seven anonymous PGA Tour players who will consider legal action depending on the PGA Tour's stance on the announced anchoring ban.

“If [Finchem does a 180] and Tim [Clark] tries to continue as a professional and he can’t effectively compete without the stroke he’s used for 18 years, most of his professional career,” hypothesized Manion, who added Pettersson into the scenario, “and they can’t engage in their livelihoods, yeah, I think they have damages to claim.”

Manion, who has been working with Clark, Pettersson, and the others who prefer to remain anonymous, since January, observed that “there are a lot of ‘ifs’ along the way.”
