The Controversial Merger of LIV Golf and PGA Tour Raises Concerns.
TL;DR
Golf analyst Brandel Chamblee predicts that the PGA Tour's partnership with the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund will be blocked by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) or the Senate Foreign Relations Committee due to the deal crossing international boundaries. The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) may also apply. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan worked with two board members to finalize the deal, but it still needs to be reviewed by various attorneys and regulatory bodies.
