Miami Nightclub opposes LIV Golf TM
LIV Golf has been no stranger to the courtroom since its inception last year, with ongoing litigation with the PGA Tour and the outcome of the hearing to determine the future of its players on the DP World Tour expected at some point from April. However, aside from its legal battles with its rival circuits, it is also embroiled in court action with a famous Miami-based nightclub. LIV Golf has attempted to register its trademarks, but that has run into opposition from the venue, which is also called LIV.

LIV golfはLIVのローマ数字で54からの意味もあり、3日間競技でのホール数(18×3)と、1ラウンドで全てバーディの場合の54の意味があります。一方マイアミのナイトクラブLIVは ニューヨークの伝説のクラブ Studio 54 (54th street)にダブらせているのと、その場所のFontainebleau Hotelが1954年設立に由来するそうです。
