On Tuesday, a group representing surviving family members of those who died during the terror attacks on 9/11/2001 blasted the PGA Tour for its sudden and surprising announcement that it is merging with LIV Golf, which is backed by the Saudi Arabian government.LIV Golf is “bankrolled by billions of sportswashing money from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia” and accused the Saudi government of playing a role in the terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans.

Now, Monahan has issued an apology for “allowing confidentiality” to trump the family’s concerns about merging with LIV Golf, which is backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund . “In allowing confidentiality to prevail,” Monahan reportedly said, “I did not communicate to very important constituents including the families of 9/11. I regret that. I really do. It’s important to reiterate that I feel like the move we made and how we move forward is in the best interest of our sport. We’ve eliminated those fractures. Any difficulties I’ve cause on that front, I have to own that as well. That comes back to communication.
