You still have the choice to stand up against sportswashing, against the Saudi monarchy, against the hundreds of billions of dollars, and maybe a lot more that the Saudis will throw at you and stand up for America because America is going…

But you could go elsewhere for $1 billion, $3 billion, maybe $50 billion. Correct?

In other words, their interest was public image, sportswashing, cleansing their reputation. Correct?

The Saudi government is the dominant owner here. It has the equity interest.

To be clear, he is out of a job.

If we are going to be selling out to countries that can throw around hundreds of billions of dollars, we are going to lose, not just financially.

We have voluntarily structured our tournaments in a way so that the net proceeds of our tournaments go to charity.

We are here because the regime, an autocratic, repressive regime, is torturing, imprisoning, killing its own people.

In 2023 we will distribute almost $1 billion to our players.

We are going to continue this inquiry. We are going to ask that the other potential witnesses that we invited actually come and share their perspectives and information.

If any person had the remotest connection to an attack on our country and the murder of my friends, I am the last guy that would be sitting at a table with them.

What other sources of funding did you explore?

I would argue that legally, as well as morally, they have a duty to keep their boards of directors informed.

It takes a lot to turn down a lot of money.

Thank you. Chairman Blumenthal, Ranking Member Johnson, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today regarding the PGA Tour.

It is better to know what the concerns of the American people are before you are straitjacketed and locked into an agreement that may, in fact, unfairly and even illegally, bind you, your players, sponsors, and others.

If this litigation is ended and your revenue is almost $3 billion a year, why do you need the Saudis' billion dollars?

Congress' authority to investigate here and investigate golf comes from Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution.

I would join you in a bipartisan effort to make those facts more available.

We will continue this inquiry because I think uncovering more of the facts and shining a spotlight on what is really happening here is in the national interest and part of our obligation.

But will you commit that it will not have it, that you will not agree to it if it does?

The PGA Tour brought in over $1.5 billion in revenue in 2021. Less than 3 percent of it, $43,694,020, was expensed as charitable grants.

Again, I can only emphasize to you, Mr. Price, that your players, like Tiger Woods, gave up hundreds of millions of dollars. They stood strong. I hope the PGA Tour will as well.

The families who are here are seeking justice against that regime.

I would like to have a commitment from both of you that the final agreement will not prevent players or PGA Tour executives from commenting on or criticizing actions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
