Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal launched a Senate investigation into the merger between the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) Tour and the Saudi-backed LIV golf league. Blumenthal is seeking information on the deal's structure, governance, and any improper conduct or wrongdoing. The senator has asked for records from the executives and welcomes player cooperation. He believes there are national security implications to the deal, with risks to American security from foreign influence by a repressive regime over a central American institution. Blumenthal expects a hearing to be held within weeks.
