Golf Twitter reacts to the PGA Tour-PIF Senate hearing

On Tuesday, PGA Tour Chief Operating Officer Ron Price and board member Jimmy Dunne were sworn in at a Senate subcommittee hearing in Washington D.C. to discuss the proposed deal between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which is the main financial backer of LIV Golf.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., is the chairman of the committee and has been publicly critical of the deal, which will unite the two once-warring factions in golf under the same commercial umbrella.

It’s no surprise that Golf Twitter lit up on one of the most historic days in the sport.

Here are some Twitter reactions from the PGA Tour-PIF Senate hearing.

Eyes on Augusta

So far, Yasir has tried to:

-Rent out Augusta National
-Shoehorn an Augusta membership out of this deal

Absolutely cannot wait to see what his next move is here.

Norman on the way out?

Blumenthal: "Just to be clear, [Norman] is out of a job."

Price: "If we reach a definitive agreement, we would not have a requirement for that type of position."
