Why? They own a team in the Premier league, involved in F1 racinf=g, in Boxing. Olympics on and on

Golfers golf take money from anyone. Tiger? Rory? they have as much money anyway

Just because, "It's OK, other people do it" has never and is not now a legitimate reason for putting my morals on a shelf.

Helping to normalize if not legitimize this country and its despotic, murderous, misogynistic-doesn't-even-come-close to describing their treatment of women, and yes, terrorist-supporting regime is anathema to everything I believe in. Perhaps even more so because it is prostitution for money.

Perhaps you can overlook Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's order and/or cover-up of murdering and dismembering journalist Jimal Khashoggi while he was legally residing and working in our country (albeit the murder and dismemberment occurred on Saudi soil via their Embassy), I cannot. That begs the question of Saudi Arabia financing, supporting and sending terrorists to murder thousands in the World Trade Centers. I am disgusted by this move by the PGA.

I am a golfer and love to watch the sport played by the very best in the world. However, all I can do now is divorce myself from supporting the PGA in any way, including watching it on television.

Luckily, this abhorrent decision by the money grabbers in the PGA coincides with the debut of Rose Zhang on the LPGA. Hopefully, her prowess will bring more eyes and more money to that tour. At least that, and the Euro Tour, is where I will watch golf exclusively now.

You fail to mention everything else the Saudi's have there fingers (and money ) in , Stop watching the PGA, now because they are hopping in bed with LIV, , Soudi Arabia competes against USA and everyone in the Olympics. I'm not backing them, just informing you that all international sports are included, Not just Golf
