LOS ANGELES: A Flo­rida man is suing Tiger Woods and caddie Joe LaCava over an alleged shove at the 2018 Val­spar Golf Championship and his lawyer asked witnesses to come forward on Wednesday.

Attorney Josh Dres­c­hel, who represents Br­ian Borruso, issued a statement seeking the public’s help in identifying voices on a video that appears to capture portions of the incident. “We’re asking anyone who was there to contact us and let us know if you saw the incident, if you know whose voices are on the video and if you may have video or pictures of the incident,” Dresche. “Unfortunately, the PGA has refused to cooperate, even though we are confident they have the incident on video.”

The lawsuit claims the incident took place on the 13th hole in the third round of the tournament. Woods hit his tee shot over the green and near spectators, including Borruso — who tried to take a selfie with Woods in the background of the shot as the superstar approached the ball. The complaint, seeking some $30,000 in damages, alleges that LaCava shoved Borruso into other spectators causing injuries.
