At a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee On Investigations, PGA COO Ron Price, pressed to provide an estimate of just how much the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund would contribute to a new entity, said that “north of $1 billion” was being discussed, but that negotiations on a final agreement were ongoing.
Price and Jimmy Dunne, board member of the PGA Tour, said that the new entity would still be controlled by the PGA. They each stressed to lawmakers that the PGA decided to enter into the agreement rather than face years of litigation and a division among athletes, as well as the threat posed by LIV backed with $800 billion in assets.
But Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), the chairman of the subcommittee, blasted the deal, saying that it was “about much more than a game of golf. It’s about how a brutal, repressive regime can buy influence, indeed take over, a cherished American institution.”
The deal was negotiated in secret and came as a shock when it was announced in June, given the intensity of the animosity between the pro tours as well as the rhetoric from PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill on Monday that extends the state’s $330 million tax incentive for film and TV production. The program will be extended for five years through 2030. For the first time, the credit will be refundable, meaning that companies like Netflix that have little or no state tax liability can receive cash back from the state.

In addition to extending the credit, the bill also includes an incentive for productions to hire a diverse workforce, both on screen and behind the camera.
