Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) wrote a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter, asking them to look into whether the proposed merger between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour violates federal antitrust laws.
Mark Schlabach of ESPN obtained a copy of the letter, which states the proposed merger raises "red flags" that should be investigated.
The senators are also critical of the "Saudi government's efforts to 'sportswash' its egregious human rights record." Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund founded LIV Golf and would be the sole outside investor in the newly formed league, which includes the DP World Tour.
