Haney V. PGA Tour Gets July 6th Trial Date
/The PGA Tour’s effort to have Hank Haney’s lawsuit thrown out has apparently failed.
According to filings, Judge Rodolfo A. Ruiz, II set the date of July 6th.
Last week a rebuttal to the Tour’s attempts at having the case thrown out was revealed by The Athletic’s Daniel Kaplan. The filings revealed ignorance of the women’s game and even how the PGA Tour Radio partnership worked. Also included where emails—that I’ll circle back to on a slow news day—shows how they make sausage down in PVB. Digestive enzymes are recommended.
There are also PIP ramifications. Big time.
Given the crux of Haney’s SiriusXM downfall centered around his flippant take on the women’s game, The Athletic story raised questions about the PGA Tour’s care for the LPGA Tour it was representing in media rights negotiations.
