9/11 Families United sounds off on PGA Tour-LIV Golf merger

"We just realized that we were better off together than we were fighting," PGA Tour President Jay Monahan said.

The agreement ends a months-long feud over LIV's poaching of some of the PGA's biggest names, but it's also eliciting criticism that the Saudi kingdom is"sportswashing" to distract from a history of human rights violations. A 2021 FBI report showed evidence that two Saudi officials provided support to at least two of the 9/11 terrorists. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals.

"Competing as a group and coming out on top is good for the players and good for the fans," Raj Srinivasan said.
