Phil Mickelson and three other golfers asked to be dismissed as plaintiffs in LIV Golf's federal antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour, according to a notice of voluntary dismissal filed on Tuesday.
Talor Gooch, Ian Poulter and Hudson Swafford also asked to no longer be plaintiffs in the federal lawsuit, which accused the PGA Tour of illegally suspending them for playing in LIV Golf events and using its monopoly power to squash competition.
Mickelson, a six-time major champion, told reporters at the LIV Golf event outside Chicago two weeks ago that he was considering removing himself from the lawsuit because LIV Golf had joined the complaint as a plaintiff on Aug.
