U.S. Department of Justice investigating PGA Tour for behavior toward LIV Golf


LINK

The U.S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the PGA Tour's handling of its players and whether it has engaged in anticompetitive behavior during its ongoing battle with the LIV Golf Invitational Series, a new circuit being financed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.

The inquiry, according to player agents who have been contacted by DOJ officials, is focused on the PGA Tour's actions regarding the Official World Golf Ranking,


Interesting that the us feels compelled to investigate a world body

Someone say clown world. Maybe if they kept the rankings on a laptop with illegal drugs, hookers and underage children they won’t find anything

Our government is bought and paid for by foreign actors. It truly is the worst thing the founding fathers could have imagined.

Seems like with all that's going on that this should be a priority

Cause the PGA is operating as a Monoply when it comes to players who playLIV events. Possible violation of Antitrust laws.

Help me out. I've been seeing headlines about Liv golf that seems controversial.

I am totally out of the loop on this.

Cliffs?

While they’re investigating this, there’s another Larry nassar out there, another Chinese spy, another mass shooter. Instead they’re worried about this shite.

You realize this is to protect us, the consumers? If the PGA is engaged in monopolistic practices of course they should be held accountable.

The ‘awe jeez not this shite again’ meme would be appropriate here. Someone?

The PGA Tour helped Biden get elected. They pulled out of all Trump properties. Stupid fricks.

It's not what they are investigating, rather what they are not.

Garland...I don't know what's worse...him as a SJ or DOJ.

Obviously it's not as a Justice at that particular time.

This klan is the most corrupt bunch in US history.

The whole point of the LIV tour is for people to be spokesmen for Saudi Arabia. They are paying way more money then they can ever hope to recover. Like massive losses. I don’t even know if this is considered legitimate competition when it’s a government using money as a sort of propaganda arm

I mean it’s ridiculous to go after the pga tour for that

And the USA government is playing into their hands. It’s kind of like what China is doing in the nba.

Just occurred to me.

This is to appease the Saudis as POTATUS begs them for oil.
