The PGA Tour is facing more pushback over its recently announced merger with the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF)–backed LIV Golf, with a high-profile member of its policy board resigning his position at the golf giant, citing “serious concerns” over the deal.
Randall Stephenson, former CEO of AT&T, tendered his resignation on Saturday, saying the framework of the deal “is not one that I can objectively evaluate or in good conscience support, particularly in light of the U.S. intelligence report concerning Jamal Khashoggi in 2018,” according to the Washington Post, which said it obtained a copy of the letter.
