Once the oil is gone, governments can start caring about human rights and sanction them into a pariah kingdom

Not with all these tentacles they are establishing in the West.

Apparently Tiger Woods turned down an $800 mil and Rory Mcllroy turned down $300mil contracts with LIV on ethical grounds (or whatever). They must be kicking themselves..

What a fiasco.

Sportswashing

We are ALL Oilwashing the Saudi money by purchasing oil from them. Saudi in return demand the rest of the world purchase their oil with US dollars which allow us to keep printing money despite being trillions of dollars in debt.

Absolutely disgusting. I think the unwritten story (so far) is that 2 members of the Tour Policy Board that include an elite Wall Street lawyer and an elite investment banker made the deal. While I doubt they will not benefit directly from this deal, they certainly will benefit from the connections made, reinforced, etc. Only money matters to the Wall Street types. It truly sad, because one of them lost friends on 911. Moreover, I suspect that both are well connected in the Middle Eastern financial world, which certainly includes the Saudi PIF. Their perceived biases have screwed professional golf, worldwide. If the "merger" goes through, this golfer will no longer follow professional golf.

Bull shit. Saudi needs to invest in its citizens. Not in sportswashing.

I was enjoying watching the Netflix docuseries but now watching anything about these goons sounds revolting.

What’s it called?

Can someone explain how it will work? Will the LIV players still get paid their crazy contracts but play alongside the PGA players in the same tournaments who won't get those $.

Does this mean that the PGA players who turned down the money for ethical reasons are now forced to essentially play for the Saudis anyways?

And what happened to the head of the PGA who has stepped away abruptly for health reasons? What happened?

I think Tennis is next. Specifically women’s tennis because the WTA is broke and desperate.
