The LIV (or 54) controversy appears to be about Saudi Arabia and the fact that they don’t live up to our standards on human rights. Neither does China and many other countries but for some reason, the PGA and R&A seem to have a different standard for Saudi Arabia.
However, the US buys billions of dollars of oil from the Saudis and the US president was there yesterday trying to get more oil.

Some on the PGA say that it isn’t about the money but it is the principle,

When someone says, 'It ain't the money but the principle of the thing,' it's the money.
