contacted the PGA Tour which acknowledged the investigation, but didn't seem worried in the least.
"This was not unexpected. We went through this in 1994 and we are confident in a similar outcome," a spokesperson for the Tour told us. FYI, PGA's referring to a Federal Trade Commission investigation in the mid-90s that looked into the Tour's rules barring players from participating in rival tournaments. The FTC dropped the investigation by 1995.
As for what could happen with this investigation ... the DOJ could pursue punishment of the PGA Tour. Or, players who signed with LIV, and/or the organization itself, could file an antitrust lawsuit against the Tour.
