I too love the game. I've played for years, although poorly usually. I'm sort of ambivalent about the whole Saudi support thing. I always believed that the USGA and the R&A would continue to set the boundaries and provide the governance needed over the "game of golf". And I still believe that to be true.
I don't really "like" the intrusiveness of the Saudi money into the game, but really, what is the difference between that and the regular PGA Tour .... except the total dollars involved.??
I admit that I have not done a "deep dive" into this mess, so I don't really "understand" all of the bits and pieces. So, what am I missing, LP.?? On the surface this seems to be just another "tour" that the Pro golfers can play.?? There are several "tours" around the world right now. The PGA is just one of several. There must be something else involved or this would not have raised such a stink.
Help me out, LP...
