PGA Tour goes full hypocrite in its merger with LIV Golf

Raytheon is based in Virginia, but it is one of the world’s largest defense manufacturers. One of its clients for advanced missile systems? The Saudis.

The PGA Tour — the pure, pure, ethically-minded PGA Tour — were the supposed heroes on the front line, maybe the last honest and upstanding enterprise on earth, as it tried to fend off the Saudi-funded LIV Golf tour. That’s how they told it.the two tours would"merge," The Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, however, owns everything. The PIF will be the exclusive investor in the new entity. It not only has the right to further invest but has “first refusal on any capital that may be invested in the new entity,” by anyone else.

Business is business. Cast the first stone. This is how the world works. If you were looking to professional sports for your morality, you were going to be disappointed. How does Rory McIlroy look and feel today? He was heartfelt. He was articulate. He was forced into an uncomfortable spotlight for him — a war of words and insults with Mickelson, who revels in such things.The PGA Tour took a big bag of money the exact same way commissioner Jay Monahan’s empty bag of righteousness once ripped Mickelson and Brooks Koepka and everyone else for doing? Monahan’s reward? He is now basically the commissioner of all of global golf, a promotion for his efforts.
