A Northern California judge clarified a question of timing that led to legal challenges in four other U.S. Circuit Courts. But the antitrust case filed against the PGA Tour last year by LIV Golf remains in limbo as both sides await a likely appeal.
Judge Beth Labson Freeman ruled Wednesday that subpoenas for depositions and documents in the case served to four witnesses – Kevin Kisner, Cameron Young, James Hahn and player manager Mark Steinberg – were properly served.
Kisner, Young, Hahn and Steinberg challenged the subpoenas in four separate courts, claiming they were untimely. A judge in Georgia granted Kisner’s motion to quash the subpoena for numerous reasons, including the request being “unduly burdensome” and failing to meet the court’s deadline.
