The PGA tour and LIV Golf appear poised to plow ahead with their shocking and unpredictable merger. However, some in the federal government and saying not so fast.

The PGA tour and LIV Golf appear poised to advance with their shocking and unpredictable merger—however, some in the federal government and saying not so fast.

“Saudi Arabia cannot be allowed to ‘sportswash’ its government’s horrific human rights abuses and the 2018 murder of American-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi by taking over the PGA [Tour],” California Democrat Representative John Garamendi said in a statement via Yahoo Sports. “PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan should be ashamed of the blatant hypocrisy and about-face he and the rest of PGA’s leadership demonstrated by allowing the sovereign wealth fund of a foreign government with an unconscionable human rights record to take over an iconic American sports league and avoid paying a penny in federal corporate income tax.

These criticisms are in addition to the heartfelt anger of 9/11 families and their representatives, such as 9/11 Families United, who believe the Saudis were heavily involved in the 9/11 attacks and see the merger as proof that the PGA Tour has become nothing more than “Saudi shills.”
