Boycott the PGA. And write to its TV sponsors to tell them you are doing so. If enough people do that, the sponsors will pull the ads, and quit paying the PGA.
America decided decades ago that we would support regimes in countries that would allow us the most political support for our worldview – that’s the “reason” we’ve support the Saudis who have one of the most repressive “worldviews” and religions in the world – Wahhabism makes the “Sunni” and Shia" sects of Islam look down-right progressive.
It’s also the reason we overthrew a democratically elected government in Iran in the 50’s and the reason we supported Pakistan (a dictatorship) in its “war” with India (a democracy) in the 1960s…
We profess support for "democracy " while consistently supporting authoritarian dictatorships whenever we could.
Supporting democracy is usually very messy while supporting a dictatorship is usually relatively easy – they almost ALWAYS speak in one voice (their strongman ruler’s voice), so you ALWAYS know “where you stand”…

Had we continued on Carter’s green path decades ago the Saudi’s wouldn’t have so much of our cash.

It’s about OIL, stupid.

All about cleaning their ‘image’; not going to work for folks paying attention.
It was never discussed with the loyal members of the PGA — Monahan should be kicked out on his ear.
