PGA Tour Files Motion To Dismiss Hank Haney's Lawsuit

The PGA Tour has "fired back" at golf instructor Hank Haney and his lawsuit, "filing a motion with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to dismiss Haney's case." Haney is seeking damages "for the harm the PGA Tour caused when it improperly intimidated, enticed and threatened Sirius XMRadio, Inc. to suspend and ultimately terminate Haney’s radio broadcast on SiriusXM’s PGA Tour Radio station." The Tour contends that Haney and his legal team could not demonstrate the Tour "unjustifiably interfered" with Haney's business and/or contractual relationship with Sirius XM. Haney was originally suspended from his show in May for what the PGA Tour and SiriusXM said were insensitive comments about women's golf (GOLFDIGEST.com, 2/10).
