You watch the PGA Tour, correct? Entire PGA playoffs was sponsored by Saudi Allied Brands ie: Coca-Cola/Fed Ex/BMW. Players Championship sponsors Grant Thornton, Optum, and Morgan Stanley each have big ties with the Saudis. Not that I agree with these relationships but both LIV and the PGA Tour are complicit. If you don’t believe they compete then you missed a great LIV finish last week, ending in a 4 man playoff. It’s the competition of the LIV tour that threatens the PGA Tour not the Saudi affiliation. As far as money hungry, all professional athletes negotiating for these huge multi million dollar contracts can be labeled money-hungry, while seeking financial security for their families. Considering the usual short span of their athletic life span to generate these incomes its a smart financial decision to “show me the money”.
