A U.S. District Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a group of caddies against the PGA Tour that claimed, among other things, breach of contract and antitrust violations.
In a ruling issued on Feb. 9, Judge Vince Chhabria wrote, “The caddies’ overall complaint about poor treatment by the Tour has merit, but this federal lawsuit about bibs does not.”
Specifically, Chhabria ruled that although vague the language used by the Tour to dictate a caddies’ dress code covers the wearing of a “bib,” which the caddies claim they have been forced to wear without receiving any compensation.
