Greg Norman

Blood money is still money, and that has always been the entire appeal of the Saudi Arabian government's fledgling golf tour. Greg Norman, Phil Mickelson ...

The Saudis are happy to lose money because their interest is not turning a profit. It is reasonable to ask players who benefit from those contracts to play exclusively on the Tour unless they get a waiver. Even if there was a greater cause here, and PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan really needed the kick in the butt that Mickelson and Norman claim he needs, then they should find somebody other than one of the most brutal regimes on the planet to fund it. But here, again, is the truth: The players are the PGA Tour. What’s bad for the Tour is bad for the players. And the PGA Tour never said players can’t play for the Saudi-backed Tour. It just said they have to choose. Norman, who is leading the tour, can whine all he wants about how the PGA Tour is unfairly restricting “independent contractors.” If you want to buy the argument of a man who thinks he can explain away a murder as “a mistake,” then go ahead.

"That remains the case for The 150th Open and we have no plans for any additional exemptions.” But still one of my all time fav golf courses to play @thehomeofgolf." "It wasn't anything else other than a sincere ask, right," he said.

“The LIV Golf Invitational Series is yet one more event in a series of sportswashing exercises that the Saudi authorities are using to clean its blood-soaked image. Far from trying to ‘move on’, the Saudi authorities have attempted to sweep their crimes under the carpet, avoiding justice and accountability at every turn. The LIV Golf Series gets underway in Hertfordshire in June.

We should all be insisting on the truth and justice; only then can we look forward with hope and dignity.” How can we go forward when those who ordered the murder are still unpunished, and continue to try to buy back their legitimacy?” Cengiz said in a statement released to news agencies by her London-based attorney.
