I believe at least some of the people in the “Strategic Sports Group” are the same people involved with the outlet which televises the LIV Tour events.
Yes, the PGA is sportswashing their sportswashing money. Or maybe the SSG is a front for the Saudi “Public Investment Fund”.
As much as we may not like it, the PGA really was in a “join ’em” survival mode; the money being offered by the oil sheiks is so vast. (Rahm skipping out was the final straw) Plus, the majors letting them play really left them in an untenable spot.
For the life of me I don’t understand why professional golfers are getting so much grief working with Saudi when every US company, and the gov’t itself, work with Saudi. Chill folks!

Just as long as he’s not being violated, he’s not worried at all.

What’s the big deal? Who cares where money comes from?
And it’s not as if there is a limit to greed.
