Senate launches probe into merger of Saudi-backed LIV Golf, PGA Tour
Fox News
Sen. Richard Blumenthal is demanding records regarding LIV and PGA's partnership, which some say is an attempt to distract from Saudi Arabia's human rights record.
PGA officials announced last week that their organization would create a "newly-formed commercial entity to unify golf" along with the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which owns LIV. The PIF is the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia, controlled by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
LIV has been under intense scrutiny since its inception as critics dismiss it as a high-dollar front for Saudi Arabia to "sportswash" its reputation for human rights abuses.
