Senate investigates PGA Tour's Saudi-backed merger with LIV Golf.

Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden have written to the Department of Justice asking for an antitrust review of the PGA Tour's planned merger with Saudi-backed LIV Golf, citing concerns over the deal's impact on competition and Saudi Arabia's human rights record. The senators argue that the deal would make the PGA Tour complicit in the Saudi regime's attempt to "sportswash" its human rights abuses. The PGA Tour disputes the characterization of the deal as a merger and says it will create opportunities for players, communities, and the sport. The merger has also drawn bipartisan concern and criticism from groups representing 9/11 victims' families.
