look at the current roster of sponsors! Aramco is the Saudi Oil Company, DP World is short for Dubai Ports World, American companies do Billions worth of business with the gulf states. The money was never that clean in the first place. This is nothing new.
Lmao what a look
Does this mean a beer will be less than $14 at pga events ?
This is Shakespearian in scope. The lies, corruption, backroom dealing.
Which just goes to show nothing has changed.
If people are saying Saudis are sportswashing through golf, people should be saying the same about the NBA since half the owners are Jewish and they all publically supported Israel's genocide of Palestinians, and how Black Lives Matter was fought against. The Jewish owners of the NBA and the Jewish NBA Commissioner have been sportswashing international crimes against North Africans such as Palestine, while managing African Americans and making billions off of them in the NBA.
Complete utter bs. This is the last time I’ll support golf sadly I remember when it was a game that we could play down the street now it’s corruption in the form of pro athletes being bought and paid for to be spokes people for a genocidal government in the Middle East that houses and trains terrorists. Don’t forget the hijackers were SAUDIS During September 11th….
What a joke. This is the thank you that the PGA players get for not jumping ship and taking massive money from the Saudis? Imagine if you went to work everyday and never called in sick and another worker who's always breaking rules gets a raise? I hope it gets blocked
There goes my interest in professional golf.
Are the TV networks still bound by their contracts to provide coverage of the Saudi Arabian Golf Tour?
I for one will never watch, attend any PGA tournament, this is allowing the corrupt govt of Saudi Arabia, a disgusting human rights abuser, so a U.S. journalist is hacked to death, dismembered & covered up.
The whole thing is gross.
Rich women can drive in Saudi Arabia I think you need to wake up a little bit to the year and decade that you're in.
If we use logic not emotion most sport leagues have lots of owners who do shady business one way or another let’s be real 😂let’s not act like we have a moral compass now
Blood money?! This coming from a place where there are already over 20 school shootings, numerous killings of innocent people by law enforcement.
I need to know what the difference is between the PIF and ARAMCO? Seems it's all Saudi money to me, and we have not had an issue with it up to this point. As far as LPGA goes, you can not watch a hole without seeing an ARAMCO banner. So they must be good with it. The same goes for the Saudi International tournament that's been held for years that many PGA tour players have played. I don't care either way, but the whole thing seems widely inconsistent.
What about American atrocities? Just stop with this narrative already, please.
Is there visual proof that there are other people physically present in this studio, or is this man literally talking to the walls?
What can you buy with $100,000,000 that you can't buy with $20,000,000?
It is all about the money
How does that work? Answer: It doesn't. The new tour will continue to bleed money for Saudi's and advertisers (now to include bone-saw marketers?) until they decide that golf no longer meets their sports-washing needs. They can go eff themselves. Prof golf has become a bad joke. Bye!
I’m sure those POSs Norman & Mickelson are thrilled. To Hell with both of them.
The journalist beheading Saudis now own the PGA? My grandfather is turning over in his grave.
The heads of the PGA that is behind this are clearly brainwashed traitor MAGATS
How many kids do you actually talk to about golf, Rich? I don’t like this so you shouldn’t either, is basically what he’s saying here.
What is this new tour going to be called? Will it be called the PIF Tour? Will there be PGA events some weeks and LIV events other weeks?
Still waiting for Rich to talk about how the NBA takes billions from China with their human rights issues. But I guess that's ok.
This is a good thing. If you turned down 100 million bucks to play LIV then that makes you a moron. Tiger stupidly turned down nearly 900million to play. I don’t care about the arguments why “it’s bad” don’t care.
Hooray for capitalism!
EDIT: Reel Big Fish – "Sell Out" should be the play-out music for this episode.
Better be careful what you say about the PGA, you might leave Augusta in 5 or 6 suitcases.
OMG! Gambling in the casinos! Eisin VAPORS .😂
Tiger to Rory: Kind of puts a kink in the Tiger/Rory we wanna be loyal slaves to the great PGA tour for the rest of our lives no matter what, we should've taken the damn money last week, we hate Phil even more now, whose idea was it to bring up morals anyway, cause now we have to quit the tour. Maybe we can join LIV now.
The POTUS grovels for Saudi oil. Why not golfers cashing in.
Lmfao cry a bit more.
Phil and his gang sipping champagne, Rory and his gang recovering from the right-left-uppercut they just received, and The PGA Tour sold out again.
The last reason to never watch golf again!
It will do to golf what the three-point shot did to basketball.
“IT STINK’S” that’s a bit weak of an Opening line!
You stink Eisenberg.
