PGA Tour's Partnership with LIV Golf Under Government Scrutiny
TL;DR Summary
PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan has written to US lawmakers stating that the PGA Tour was "left on our own" to fend off Saudi Arabia's bid to take over the sport with LIV Golf because of the United States' geopolitical alliance with the kingdom. Monahan sent the letter to various lawmakers on June 9, three days after the PGA Tour's announcement of an agreement with Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund and the European tour to pool commercial business and rights in a new company. The agreement, while still not finalized, would end all litigation between the PGA Tour and the Public Investment Fund.
