Elsewhere in the whirlwind of golf and jurisprudence, Carlos Ortiz has withdrawn his name from the lawsuit filed by LIV Golfers, reducing the list of names down to 10. His agent said he has moved on from the legal endeavor.

The LIV trio has lost the initial court case, but it does not seem that these legal battles will be over quickly!
