LOS ANGELES — A United States Senate committee is officially reviewing the PGA Tour's planned alliance with the DP World Tour and LIV Golf.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA - MARCH 07: Jay Monahan, Commissioner of the PGA Tour speaks to the media in a press conference prior to THE PLAYERS Championship on THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass on March 07, 2023 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. LOS ANGELES — A United States Senate committee is officially reviewing the PGA Tour’s planned alliance with the DP World Tour and LIV Golf.
LIV Golf has faced plenty of criticism since its inception largely due to its Saudi Arabian financial backers. The PIF has more than $700 billion worth of assets, and is run by the Saudi Arabian monarchy and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. The Saudis have faced allegations of sportswashing by funding LIV Golf and more, which many see as an effort to cover up allegations of human rights abuses, the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi and more.
