Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) excoriated PGA Tour executives for their alleged hypocrisy amid the Saudi-backed LIV Golf merger.

During a U.S. Senate hearing on Tuesday, Hawley pressed PGA COO Ron Price about how the organization spent more than six figures in lobbying against LIV last year.

“But this is before you agreed to take a billion dollars from the same people that you were lobbying against a year ago?” Hawley shot back. “What was China doing when they hosted the Olympics but a few years ago, but sportswashing? Trying to wash their enslavement of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of Muslims. Trying to sportswash their purchase of thousands of United States farmland acres. To sportswash their research into bioterrorism weapons,” Marshall asked. “Why aren’t we investigating those issues?” said Marshall.
