“Look, investment is investment. Every tour needs investment, that’s plain and simple,” said Casey, currently world number 27. South Korea’s Kim Joo-hyung, who leads the Asian Tour Order of Merit, said he was looking forward to playing in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is increasingly playing host to major sporting events including a Formula One Grand Prix, but critics say the country is seeking to “sportswash” its abysmal human rights record.
