We can use their oil but not watch their golf.If these golfers are terrible people for doing business with the Saudi then anyone that has dealings with them should be criticized. Seems like selective outrage.

Selective outrage is almost as bad as whataboutism.We can use their oil but not watch their golf.If these golfers are terrible people for doing business with the Saudi then anyone that has dealings with them should be criticized. Seems like selective outrage.
LIV golf is terrible not just because of the Saudis, although they're terrible, it's small field, limited events, no cut, guaranteed $'s goes against golf's history of "eat what you kill."And now they just inked Cam Smith, one of the hottest golfers in the world right now. Very popular guy.

When those LIV golfers fall from the world ranking and can't compete in majors they'll soon be forgotten. As will LIV golf.

Oh, we're terrible. We enslaved blacks and tried to eradicate Native Americans. We just rolled back reproductive rights for women and are coming after the LGBTQ+ community next. Spare me the outrage over the Saudis. You guys gonna boycott the World Cup in Qatar this fall? I doubt it. The selective outrage and hypocrisy over what constitutes a 'bad guy' nation is ridiculous. We wiped out innocent civilians in Iraq for NO REASON - worse - a MADE UP REASON. But we're going to stand on an air of superiority to other countries? I think not.
Moving on, I went to an event and it was terrific. Have you gone? What was your experience like? Because I enjoyed every minute of my time watching the best players in the world from just a few feet away without having to elbow anybody. No lin. beer or use the can. And these guys aren't going to be forgotten. They are weakening the PGA week by week, deflection by deflection.
IMO, LIV is a different version of an old, stodgy, stale game with a format that could use some fresh ideas and excitement. There is room for both to exist. I for one hope they start poaching the LPGA next and provide us with coed golf. Some people want to live in the past. Some people long for the future. I think there is an argument that both can be achieved.
I'm glad you went and had a good time.

You seem super defensive. You went and you liked it. That’s totally fine. No need to let the detractors get you riled up.

As you'll note, most of my issues were golf related. Small fields, guaranteed $'s, few events.
The guys that are leaving are welcome to do just that. They'll get no world ranking points, no admittance to majors, and they'll miss that part of golf. In my opinion LIV won't last and it's a mockery to the standards set by the golfers who came before. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.
That story was covered quite a bit when Qatar we announced, and when the workers were dying.I'm glad you went and had a good time.

I apologize for the outburst. I do think our country should be careful condemning others but also acknowledge the Saudi treatment of fellow man (woman, they) is abhorrent and needs massive humanitarian overhaul.
I am genuinely curious how many of you will boycott World Cup Qatar.
Follow-up question: why isn't there more chatter and scrutiny about a country that built their WC stadiums on the backs of slaves - where thousands perished - hosting the biggest sporting event in the world in a few months? Maybe another thread but I hear very little about Qatar vs Saudis and LIV. Why? I think that's a fair question.
