NJS 4555 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I'd guess it's because there isn't a golf equivalent of Man Utd that they regret missed out on the "blood money". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 32984 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I guess it's because golf is a lower profile sport. There wasn't much of a furore when players went to SA to play there for big invitational fees. Norman's comments were idiotic though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I take the point, but that was before the sportswashing term was so prevalent and given the hysteria around this purchase, I wondered whether there had been any traction. Of course, it may be that those journalists will be happy to take the chance to improve their handicap on some of the best golf courses around.

Craig 6798 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Lee Westwood got involved last week when he said he would be playing in it on the grounds that F1 & Boxing get away with Saudi funding so why can't golf. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
