Saudi Arabia is disputing a federal magistrate's ruling that its sovereign wealth fund and the fund's governor be required to provide documents and testimony in LIV Golf's antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour.
Attorneys for the kingdom filed a letter on Thursday challenging the reasons a magistrate judge cited for allowing subpoenas of the Public Investment Fund and its governor, Yasir al-Rumayyan.
The letter was sent to U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman, who is overseeing the case in the Northern District of California.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Susan van Keulen in a Feb. 16 decision said the PIF and al-Rumayyan are not protected by the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act because of a commercial activity exception.
