Senate Investigates PGA Tour's Deal with Saudi-Funded LIV Golf

The Senate has opened an inquiry into the partnership agreement between the PGA Tour and Saudi-funded LIV Golf, demanding documents and communications related to the deal. Senator Richard Blumenthal has raised concerns about the Saudi government's role in the agreement and the risks posed by a foreign government entity assuming control over an American institution. The PGA Tour's tax-exempt status is also being questioned. While Congress cannot block the deal, the scrutiny could tarnish it and make the months ahead unpleasant for golf leaders.
