Sen. Blumenthal: Saudis 'are not minority investors' in framework deal with PGA Tour

Moments after a nearly three-hour hearing in which members of the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations welcomed two PGA Tour representatives to Capitol Hill, Sen. Richard Blumenthal let it be known, “We’re going to be doing more.”

In speaking with Golf Channel’s Rich Lerner, Blumenthal said he was pleased with what unfolded at Tuesday’s examination of Tour COO Ron Price and Tour board member Jimmy Dunne regarding last month’s announced framework deal between the Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.

“I thought the hearing really went well,” Blumenthal said. “We learned a lot, and the American people saw a lot and heard about what went into the deal and most importantly what the issues are going forward.
