The PGA Tour's pending partnership with Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf will undergo intense Congressional scrutiny Tuesday.
That's because a Tuesday hearing of the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations will look at the PGA Tour, Saudi Arabia, LIV Golf and a concept known as"sportswashing."
The league quickly recruited some of the sport's biggest stars, like Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson, by offering contracts reportedly worth more than $100 million.Throughout the last year, the PGA tour criticized LIV golf for trying to ruin the game. Officials, as well as golfers on the PGA Tour, said that a country with such a poor human rights record should have no place in golf.
PGA Tour officials will testify on Tuesday. Representatives from Saudi Arabia and the game's biggest stars will not.
