Judge to hear LIV players' playoffs appeal on Tuesday in California

The first legal challenge to the PGA Tour’s stand against LIV Golf will come Tuesday in San Jose, California.

The U.S. District Court for California’s Northern District has scheduled an in-person hearing for the three players – Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford and Matt Jones – who have challenged the Tour’s suspension for violating the circuit’s policies and playing the LIV Golf league. The players have filed for a temporary restraining order that would allow them to play the FedExCup playoffs, which begin Thursday in Memphis.

The hearing, which will be held before Judge Beth Labson Freeman, is scheduled for 1 p.
