News about Matt Jones

On Tuesday, Phil Mickelson, the driving force behind PGA Tour players in the prestigious LIV Golf series, and three other celebrities ordered a federal judge to dismiss their names from the antitrust case involving the PGA Tour. Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford, and Ian Poulter all filed separately to have their names deleted from their records. In the lawsuit, which was initiated in early August, only three players - Bryson DeChambeau, Peter Uihlein and Matt Jones - and Saudi-funded LIV Golf - are among the plaintiffs. The trial is not set to begin until January 2024. Mickelson's decision was not surprising. He told SI.com two weeks ago that he no longer needed to be interested in the case now that LIV Golf has pleaded as a plaintiff.

Phil Mickelson is considering removing his name from the PGA Tour antitrust case because he believes it is no longer 'necessary' to be attached. The six-time major champion has yet to decide whether he will stick with it or delete his name. Mickelson, speaking to reporters at Rich Harvest Farms ahead of the LIV Golf Invitational Chicago this weekend, expressed his delight in the fact that the LIV Golf entity has included its players in the competition.

With Greg Norman, the breakaway league's CEO, a contest with shorts will continue to shake up the game, beginning from Saturday. LIV is Norman's first golf tour or league to encourage men to wear something other than traditional golf pants. Previously, LIV players were allowed to wear shorts in practice rounds and pro-am tournaments. Cameron Smith (top right) dropped off the pace with Talor Gooch (bottom right) as the leader.

Cam Smith has started his LIV Golf career after being teeing off in Boston for the first tournament after his $100 million departure to the Saudi-backed empire. The British Open champion is the most high-profile new recruit in Massachusetts this week, making his debut as the team captain of Punch GC at The International. Smith was seen arriving on the course in a luxurious supercar before heading to the range for the first round of the Boston Invitational.

Two couples, who have largely advocated for the PGA Tour since LIV's inception, took to Twitter to criticize No. 2 Cameron Smith, who said he joined the Saudi-funded tour in order to spend more time with his family. 'To all my colleagues who missed birthdays and weddings, I'm so sorry, but I was busy earning a living on the @pgatour and in my line of work, so I'm sorry. The aim is to EARN your way to work weekends.' And by weekends, i mean 72 holes. The 62-year-old, who has won 64 professional tournaments in his career, said sorry not sorry.'
