The PGA Tour's fight against the rival LIV Golf has gripped the golf and sports world. LIV Golf has succeeded in winning over some of the world's top golfers, convincing them to move on for greener (much greener) pastures. However, the Tour hasn't just stood by and let it happen.

They've fought LIV and their former PGA-star-turned-CEO Greg Norman every step of the way. It appears that the fight could cost them. Per the Wall Street Journal, the PGA Tour is being investigated by the United States Justice Department for potential antitrust violations.

The Department of Justice is investigating whether the PGA Tour engaged in anticompetitive behavior as it battles the upstart, Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit, the PGA Tour confirmed to The Wall Street Journal.

Specifically, the Justice Department wants to determine if the Tour “engaged in anticompetitive behavior” in its battle with LIV Golf.

Players' agents have received “inquiries” into the Tour's “bylaws governing players' participation in other golf events.” They're also being asked about the Tour's actions in recent months, per the WSJ.

PGA commissioner Jay Monahan- and many other players- had been outspoken about LIV Golf. Monahan suspended any players who left for the rival league. The leader of the Tour called LIV an “irrational threat” to the sport of golf.

Now, it appears that the Justice Department is circling the waters amid the battle between the two associations. It will be interesting to see what action- if any- comes of their investigation into the PGA.

Stay tuned, golf fans.
