Sports Briefing | Golf: Caddies Lose Lawsuit

Related Topics: Lawsuit, Class action

Caddies lost their class-action lawsuit against the PGA Tour when Judge Vince Chhabria of Federal District Court ruled they had signed a contract with the tour that required them to wear bibs as part of their uniforms and could not claim that corporate sponsorship on the bibs made them human billboards. The decision came just over a year after caddies filed the lawsuit, in Northern California. The caddies had been at odds with the tour for several years over what they perceived as poor treatment.
