Dave Hill antitrust lawsuit

At the Colonial National Invitation, Dave Hill shot rounds of 77-85 to miss the cut. On his last hole, Hill threw a ball out of a sand trap.[1] Hill was disqualified but it was for his signing a scorecard with an incorrect score on it.[2] When Hill went to play in his next tournament, the Danny Thomas Memphis Classic, Hill was informed that he was being fined $500 for conduct unbecoming a professional golfer.[3] Hill was required to pay the fine before teeing it up in the tournament. He did so, but less than a week later, Hill filed a one-million dollar antitrust suit against the PGA Tour.[4] In response, the tour put Hill on probation for one year.[5]
