'They want prestige, they want their population entertained.' Following the merger of LIV and the PGA this week, Saudi Arabia’s ‘sportswashing’ has placed them as a large player in the world of sport.

That’s according to sportswriter Padraig Reidy, who coined the term sportswashing in 2015 when Azerbaijan hosted Formula One races, Champion League matches and the European Olympic Games, suspectedly to deter criticism on its human rights record.

Mr Reidy said while LIV not owned by the Saudi Arabian state, it is owned by the Saudi Arabian public investment fund, effectively meaning professional golf is going to be privatised under the control of the Saudi Arabian government.
