ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- 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, warnings it has issued to players who were contemplating joining LIV Golf and suspensions that have been levied against players who left by PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan.
A PGA Tour spokesperson confirmed the DOJ's inquiry to ESPN. The Wall Street Journal first reported details of the investigation Monday.
"This was not unexpected," the PGA Tour statement said. "We went through this in 1994 and we are confident in a similar outcome."

Biden’s corrupt DOJ/AG Garland trying to kow tow to the Saudis at the moment he is visiting them.
Well president vegetable is begging the saudis for oil and quid pro quos involving legal investigations are right in his wheel house.
Insane. Antifa and BLM terrorists run wild, the border is a wave of cartel human smuggling. The Biden crime family runs wild. Supreme court justices sleep with shotguns by the bed if they have any sense. Fauci the mass murderer walks free. Our political prisoners waste away in solitary for over a year. Street crime and racial attacks against whites are rampant.
And DOJ swings into action because a golf club snubs members that start hanging with another golf club.
This administration has their grimy grandson reaching out for everything, 90% of it not their business.
Grandson=HANDS ON
Geez, autocorrect.
The client lists from Epstein island are still secret. Hunters underage sex tapes and gun crimes are ignored. The list is endless. Ukraine has something like 10 times of the largest lobbying footprint in DC, almost certainly distributing US cash that we give Ukraine. Kickback city, repub and dem.
But golfers being rude to each other, THAT’S where they draw the line.
What do the letters LIV stand for?
Fortunately, all the other problems besetting millions of people across society have been solved, and now we move onto this situation which probably affects 100-150 people who have made a personal/professional choice in an erstwhile free economy.
Information missing in the article:
“In Roman numerals, LIV is 54. Each of LIV’s events are 54 holes. Also, if a golfer birdies every hole on a par-72 course the score is 54.”

I guess I’m supposed to know what LIV stands for.

Thanks for posting that.
And, don’t leave out stolen elections....but, hey DOJAG/GULAG doesn’t have time for investigations into actual crimes...that effect most every citizen. 🙃
I looked it up online. Took about 10 seconds.

They must have run short on soccer moms protesting CRT to harass and investigate as domestic gterrorists
Because there’s nothing more important (like election integrity) to investigate.
Thanks
so if a golfer makes par on every hole his score is 0?
