WASHINGTON — PGA Tour Chief Operating Officer Ron Price and board member Jimmy Dunne are set to testify July 11 before a U.S. Senate panel about the circuit’s surprise merger with Saudi-owned LIV Golf.
Democrat Richard Blumenthal, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Investigations, and the panel’s top Republican, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, announced the witnesses for the hearing — titled “The PGA-LIV Deal: Implications for the Future of Golf and Saudi Arabia’s Influence in the United States” — on Monday.
The senators have said fans, players and lawmakers have concerns about the PGA Tour’s deal with the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
