Sens. Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut Democrat, and Ron Johnson, Wisconsin Republican, said PGA Tour Chief Operating Officer Ron Price and Jimmy Dune, a board member, will appear on Capitol Hill but major players on the LIV Golf side will be no-shows due to scheduling conflicts.
“We regret that Governor al-Rumayyan and Mr. Norman’s scheduling conflicts will prevent them from attending the July 11 hearing. Both Governor al-Rumayyan and Mr. Norman have valuable information to share about the operations of the Public Investment Fund, the future of LIV Golf, and Saudi Arabia’s plans to invest in golf and other sports,” Mr. Blumenthal and Mr. Johson said.
The surge in LIV Golf had political, cultural and diplomatic overtones, with former President Donald Trump cozying up to the Saudi venture at his golf clubs and warning PGA Tour holdouts they would miss a big payday when an eventual merger arrived.
