'PGA Tour leaders should be ashamed of their hypocrisy and greed,' said the head of 9/11 Families United after the PGA Tour and Saudi-funded LIV Golf announced a merger.
Relatives of people killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States and 9/11 survivors said Tuesday that they are"shocked and deeply offended" by a newly announced merger between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit, a deal widely condemned as"sportswashing" one of the world's worst human rights violators.
PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan—who last year asked players considering leaving for LIV Golf if they've"ever had to apologize for being a member of the PGA Tour"—on Tuesday that he's now"recognized that together, we can have a far greater impact on this game than we can working apart."
