Parties are facing a six-month deadline to agree the final details of a deal, according to senator Ron Johnson investigating the deal
The proposed merger between the PGA and Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Tours in professional golf is still “in enormous flux” because the parties are facing a six-month deadline to agree the final details of a deal, according to Ron Johnson, the senior Republican senator who is investigating it.
The deal has rocked the world of golf and prompted concerns among some lawmakers and human rights activists that – if the deal succeeds – it could mark the first of many takeovers of sports leagues and other cultural institutions by Saudi Arabia.
