The concept of Liv Golf is great (except the music), has been a great success so far, and awesome that the only one in Aus is here, but … without the backing of the Saudis it would be a massive financial loss.
I get that it’s part of the Saudi’s marketing (propaganda is probably too strong) strategy, but how is spending a couple of gazzilion dollars each year (admittedly they can afford it without blinking) going to help them? The golf fans will just love the events for what they are, the players are too busy counting their money, the event holders reap great rewards, and then everyone else will complain that it’s either immoral, unethical or demonise anyone associated with it.
I’m quite dumb so please explain to me how the Saudi’s gain any more credibility, worldwide acceptance, etc, etc in the global community for the money they spend on the comp?
TIA.
