The United States Department of Justice is reportedly investigating the PGA Tour regarding potential anticompetitive behavior in its response to LIV Golf, per Louise Radnofsky and Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal.
The DOJ's antitrust division has contacted players' agents to discuss the PGA Tour's bylaws as well as the organization's recent actions related to LIV Golf.
Several high-profile golfers have joined the upstart league, which is backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, including Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka.
The PGA Tour announced in June that it was suspending players who competed in the LIV Golf inaugural event, while those who resigned their PGA membership would no longer be eligible to compete in Tour events.
