As Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund continues to pour billions into the world of golf, the sport is experiencing a significant shake-up. The country’s investment in LIV Golf, a new rival tour, has caused a rift among golf’s leading male professionals, who have chosen to join the new tour instead of the PGA Tour.
The move has raised questions about the future of golf and the impact of Saudi Arabia’s investment on the sport. While some argue that the influx of money will bring much-needed attention and resources to the game, others are concerned about the country’s human rights record and the potential for the sport to be used as a tool for political gain.
As the golf world grapples with these issues, it remains to be seen what the future holds for the sport. Will Saudi Arabia’s billions continue to shake up golf, or will the sport find a way to balance its commercial interests with its ethical responsibilities? Only time will tell.
