Augusta National, the United States Golf Association and PGA of America have been added to the Department of Justice's ongoing antitrust investigation into the PGA Tour, per Louise Radnofsky and Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal.
On Aug. 3, 11 players who left the PGA Tour to join the LIV Golf International Series filed an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA to challenge the circuit's decision to suspend them from Tour-sanctioned events.
Later that same month, LIV Golf joined the lawsuit. As of September, at least seven players have removed their names from the lawsuit.
