The PGA Tour is holding firm and refusing to allow the three LIV golfers who have qualified for the FedEx Cup into next week's FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind.

Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford and Matt Jones are the three players in question who are suspended by the tour after playing in the first LIV Golf event in London in June.

Earlier this week, 11 players - including that trio - filed a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the Tour and that would normally mean they are eligible to compete next week.

But according to Sports Illustrated, the PGA Tour simply said 'no' when asked if the players would be welcomed on site next week while the TRO is adjudicated at a courthouse next Tuesday in San Jose.

The hearing is scheduled for 1pm PST and Gooch, Swafford and Jones are expected to attend the court in person. 

The trio will need the court to come to their rescue to allow them to compete next week and beyond.
