The corporate smoke & mirrors at the PGA Tour would make Mandrake blush. What did SSG buy? What assets/rights has PGA Tour sold them? The deal either makes PIF/LIV very angry (unwise to poke sticks at predators) or there is a sweetener to be revealed. Like it's Middle East geopolitical "strategy" the US can't decide if Saudi is a deadly enemy or essential ally. (Houthis & Oil - yes; China, Israel, 9/11 & human rights - no.)
And what of the role of the presumptive President in all this? His son-in-law's hedge fund is flush with Saudi money and Donald owes LIV favours while the PGA Tour trashed his brand. Not a man who easily forgets.
SSG, PIF and Trump will all get their pound of flesh out of US pro golf - but whose arms and legs are disposable? The NZ rugby example is small scale proof of concept. Ultimately it comes down to current charitable beneficiaries & PGAT employees (low hanging fruit); then subsidiary tours (KFT, DP, Champs); then protected status of players outside top 50 (steeper pyramid with hungrier dogs); and finally consumers in gamblification; streaming costs; and tax/investment rorts/restructuring.

It's golf Jim, but not as we know it.
