Peter Uihlein removes name from LIV Golf suit

One more player has dropped his name from LIV Golf's antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour, with Peter Uihlein no longer listed, Golfweek reported Friday citing a filing Thursday in the U.S. Northern District of California.

A total of 11 LIV Golf competitors filed suit in August of last year, including Phil Mickelson. Now just two players remain: Bryson DeChambeau and Matt Jones. LIV Golf itself has since added its name to the complaint.

Mickelson removed his name for the lawsuit about a month after it was filed when LIV Golf joined as a plaintiff.

"The merits of the case -- the PGA Tour's anti-competitive conduct -- still stand and will be fully tested in court," LIV Golf spokesman Jonathan Grella said in a statement last year after Mickelson, Talor Gooch, Ian Poulter and Hudson Swafford removed their names.

In February, the PGA Tour filed a countersuit against LIV Golf, saying the startup league induced players to break contracts with the PGA Tour.

The original antitrust suit filed by nearly a dozen players was to combat the PGA Tour's decision to suspend golfers for competing on the opposing circuit without consent.
