On June 6, the PGA Tour and LIV Golf announced their plans to merge. Several members of Congress have issued public calls for the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to review the deal.

Sarah Bauerle-Danzman, associate professor of international studies in the Hamilton Lugar School at IU Bloomington, is available to comment. She is the author of an article in the Atlantic Council on why the Committee on Foreign Investment won’t “answer the prayers” of those who wish to stop the merger.
