Golf Law: Tiger Woods Legal Claims w/ Ex, Patrick Reed Dismissal, and LIV-PGA Latest
Welcome back to THE Sports Law Podcast! This is your one-stop shop for all things sports law. In this episode, hosts Dan Lust (@SportsLawLust) and John Nucci (@JNucci23) are joined by a very special guest Dan Rapaport (@Daniel_Rapaport) to discuss the top legal stories in the world of golf. Tiger Woods' ex Erica Herman has filed suit against the golfer, claiming she was wrongfully evicted from Tiger's residence. (9:13) This claim came to light amid a lawsuit looking to invalidate a non-disclosure agreement she signed. This NDA case was brought under the Speak Out Act which "prohibits the judicial enforceability of a nondisclosure clause or nondisparagement clause agreed to before a dispute arises involving sexual assault or sexual harassment in violation of federal, tribal, or state law." The defamation lawsuit Patrick Reed filed against the Golf Channel has been dismissed. (15:56) Reed was suing the channel for $750 million claiming that the statements made on the channel harmed his reputation and damaged his earning abilities. Reed also made threats to sue other channels but that case never came to fruition. As the LIV v. PGA saga continues, John Nucci has been on top of all of the developing stories throughout. (18:44) He discussed with Dan Rapaport the possibility of players returning to the PGA Tour and what that would look like from a legal standard. They also discussed how the PGA pros who remained loyal throughout would feel about the return of some of the LIV golfers. *** Have a topic you want to write about?
