The 9/11 families group suing the Saudis over alleged links to the terror attacks is blasting the PGA’s merger with LIV Golf calling it an epic betrayal.
“PGA Tour leaders should be ashamed of their hypocrisy and greed,” said 9/11 Families United Chair Terry Strada, whose husband Tom died in the World Trade Center’s North Tower.
“Our entire 9/11 community has been betrayed by Commissioner Monahan and the PGA as it appears their concern for our loved ones was merely window-dressing in their quest for money – it was never to honor the great game of golf,” she added. Her stinging pushback comes just hours after the PGA and LIV Golf announced a blockbuster marriage and the end of lawsuits. The Associated Press reports linking the two will create a powerful commercial entity.
