A Homeland Security subcommittee will hold a hearing on the PGA Tour-LIV Golf deal on Wednesday to discuss Saudi Arabian investments in the United States.
The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations will meet on Wednesday morning to examine Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. Witnesses for the hearing are Ben Freeman, director of Democratizing Foreign Policy Program; Brian Murphy, managing director at Logically AI Inc.; and Joey Shea, researcher for Human Rights Watch focusing on Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
PGA Chief Operating Officer Ron Price told lawmakers that Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund would invest"north of $1 billion" into the new entity, which subcommittee Chairman Richard Blumenthal said could serve as evidence that the nation is looking to"sportswash" their human rights abuses and"capture American institutions.
