Hmmm....

McCord would be something else on here...

"Activists and experts warned that Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's efforts to mend his country's standing were working despite scant evidence of progress on human rights.

Saudi Arabia has adopted a deliberate long-term strategy of investing in sports and celebrity to distract from their reputation — sportswashing, white washing, reputation laundering,” said Michael Page, deputy director in the Middle East and North Africa division at Human Rights Watch.

The money that the Saudis are using is shaping the way that people downplay or deflect from very serious concerns about Saudi Arabia, especially human rights abuses,” he added."

    sdandrea1 Watching round 2 now. Feherty is fun. They need McCord.

    Got a good Rocket Mortgage Classic going on. Pendrith leading Finau by 1 tee of in a few minutes. Rickie Fowler was warming up on the range with a tin cup contraption wrapped around himself. lol

    Oops, wrong thread. lol

      If Joe Biden can visit the Prince in the Palace, I can justify following the Prince's golf league. In fact, I hope I have a chance to fist bump Greg Norman and some of the LIV members some day when they are on a course near me.

        I wasn’t happy about Biden meeting with MBS, but they made a decision to try and get gas prices down.😏 I’m watching a hell of a PGA Tour tournament with a nice tight ‘real competition’ leader board. Lol. Tony Finau is on a hot streak.

        Enjoy the Exhibition Tour. 😉

          I’ll take a diluted league over the mostly HB (has been) Tour. Lol

          The Boobster said he and his wife prayed and when his son got all excited about seeing the teams etc. with LIV, then he knew he’d made the right decision.

          No mention of the supposed $50 million as a deciding factor.😏

            And there’s a chance they’ll never have a chance to get anymore. Lol. Maybe in place of Majors and the Fed Ex Cup they can play for the MBS Cup.🙄

              Sneakylong There’s also a chance the PGA Tour will cease to exist as a major tour if sponsors won’t compete with Saudi PIF.

                johnnydoom

                I doubt you’ll see sponsors lining up to support LIV. To much bad publicity risk. But the Saudi’s can self sponsor. Maybe they can show some tourism adds. Lol

                  Sneakylong They don’t need to support LIV. But, if they want exposure for their products on the PGA Tour, they better put up more money. It’ll cost more, and less people will be watching or caring.
