An Arizona company specializing in selling golf vacations has filed suit against Joe Mullins, alleging he provided bogus tickets to the Masters Tournament in 2018 and failed to come through with badges in 2019.
Golf Travel LLC filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Augusta on April 9. The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages of hundreds of thousands of dollars, more than $1.5 million in future earnings and punitive damages.
Golf Travel's lawsuit is the second to be filed in federal court against Mullins over the sale of Masters practice round tickets and tournament badges. In 2013, Global Events Management filed suit, alleging Mullins was paid $300,000 for tournament badges but didn't deliver, allegedly costing the company at least $900,000. That suit was settled for undisclosed terms in February 2017.
