Greedy ****s.

1-0 to Westwood for identifying the question to be hypothetical not speculative.

Utter ****ing arseholes. Both Tories as well. Can't abide them both. McDowell's was an absolute embarrassment too.

He literally describes sports-washing in that top clip. And his desire to be part of it and help them do it.

“I want to be an example to kids” **** off.

A lot of reputations being eternally damaged whilst a lot of bank balances are being massively boosted.

The way they're all jumping ship now he must be licking his lips at the thought of absolutely cleaning up at all the Majors

I saw the Hulk and Johnson have jumped over now too.

Aside from the obvious issues relating to Saudi's, I don't understand the whole concept.

Where are they going to play? Surely no PGA/Euro courses will let them play tournaments there? So they're stuck playing in the Middle East?

Golf courses are privately owned aren’t they, guess the risk is the tours remove them as destinations but if the money is right I doubt they’ll care

Centurion they’re playing this week is a new(ish) course in the same style as Queenwood which effect doesn’t exist as a golf course they make it so exclusive

Same, I only realised this morning that the tournament is a different format?

I hope the media keep on them long term with the human rights abuse questions, as the platitudes they are responding with will not work forever. The future success surely requires press buy in at some point.

Greed.

It's 3 rounds rather than 4 isn't it? An absolutely wild change in format, not sure how they came up with it

edit: it's a little more different than that to be fair https://www.livgolf.com/format

Radical. They mentioned something about everyone teeing off at once also?

Like the start of the Le mans grand prix?

Is that what 'shotgun starts' means? How does that work then..
