LIV Golf and PGA Tour merger probed by US Senate as demand made to Greg Norman

United States Senator Richard Blumenthal is embarking on an investigation between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf' s new merger.

Last week, the PGA announced that to unify golf, they would join forces with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) -- the financial entity responsible for funding LIV Golf. The sovereign wealth fund is controlled by Crown Prince Mohammad bid Salman, who also serves as the chairman of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs and chairman of the Council of Political and Security Affairs with a US net worth of $25billion.

PGA Tour President Jay Monahan was initially against the merger, imploring all golfers on tour to do what he considered the right thing ethnically and remain with the PGA -- which doesn't have a known history of humane corruption.
