Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., doesn’t believe that the historic pro golf merger between the PGA Tour, Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), which runs LIV Golf, and the DP World Tour has any “governmental concern.”“I don’t really have anything to say on that,” he said, via Reuters, when asked about whether congressional oversight of the merger will occur. The move was shocking, considering how much disagreement has transpired over the past two years between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, to the point where Monahan invoked the 9/11 terrorist attacks during an interview while discussing the Saudi-backed tour. I thought the PGA was taking a principled stand,” Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., told Fox News. “That should concern everyone.”PGA TOUR ANNOUNCES LANDMARK MERGER WITH SAUDI-BACKED LIV GOLFPGA Tour players were also mad at the merger, one of the reasons being they had no clue until the announcement came. There are still many questions to be answered about the merger, but it has been received poorly by many who indulge in professional golf.
