Can I just say that the LIV Tour can get fucked. It's an even more blatant attempt at sports washing than buying football clubs. I can't say I blame the lower order players but the top players can get fucked.

It's bullshit. Just seeing Phil Mickelson saying he doesn't condone human rights violations. But he's happy to take money off the perpetrators of it.

Bryson getting $300m+. It's obscene. How much fucking money do you need? The organisers of the Majors should grow some balls and tell them all to fuck off.

Is sportswashing effective, in terms of what the sports washers are trying to achieve? Seems like it just turns a massive spotlight on the activities they’re trying to gloss over. I certainly knew fuck all about the employment terms and practices of Qatar prior to the World Cup shenanigans, and I don’t think China is any better image-wise for hosting an Olympics.
Of course this could just be a result of where I go for my news and media consumption, but it seems like it generates more heat than anything else to me

Interesting they like to position it is "politics" as a get out of jail card. Sure there is some politics in all of this. But if you choose to take the money knowing what you know to be true about the regime - that is fuck all to do with politics.

Qatar World Cup. Boxing, snooker, F1 and even WWE in Saudi Arabia. Footballers choosing the China Super League.
Surprised it's taken golf this long to be honest.

If there were two golfers that were nailed on to join it was always Poulter and Westwood - pair of shitbags

So far it's DJ and Bryson, plus a load of either over the hill or lower ranked players.

Just watched the highlights. The putt on 13 and bunker shot on 18 were incredible. Great stuff.

Shoot a 64 in the final round in the Open, you deserve to get your hands on the claret jug.
