Phil Mickelson won't defend his PGA Championship title, after speaking out about LIV Golf, a Saudi-backed breakaway tour.
journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a U.S. resident. Mickelson, according to Shipnuck, told him he agreed with the sports washing assessment. But Saudi riches were too good to ignore.. “We know they killed Khashoggi and have a horrible record on human rights. They execute people over there for being gay. Knowing all of this, why would I even consider it? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates.
The PGA Tour has treated LIV Golf as a rogue competitor, particularly because five of the events will be held on the Tour’s home soil, the United States. Two of the LIV Golf events will be held at clubs owned by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who while in office“we may never know all of the facts surrounding the murder of Mr. Jamal Khashoggi. In any case, our relationship is with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
