Hill Sues PGA and TPD for $1 Million in Civil Rights Case
Stormy Dave Hill filed a $1 million lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the Professional Golfers Association and the Tournament Players Division. The suit accuses the groups of civil rights violations, antitrust breaches, and infringing Hill’s free speech rights amid a history of suspensions and fines. Barner says the federal action could bring a monopoly critique. PGA officials decline to comment on the complaint. Hill, 34, has eight titles and the Vardon Trophy, with a contentious pro career including recent penalties and a famous critique of the U S Open course.
