Senate Investigates PGA Tour's Merger with Saudi-Backed LIV Golf

Senator Richard Blumenthal has demanded records from PGA officials regarding the tour's merger with Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf, citing concerns about the Saudi government's influence and control over a cherished American institution. Blumenthal's demand comes after the PGA Tour's agreement with the Saudi Public Investment Fund regarding LIV Golf raised concerns about the risks posed by a foreign government entity assuming control over the PGA Tour. The PGA Tour's tax-exempt status gives Blumenthal's committee the authority to demand documentation and answers from the organization.
