Trump Praises Saudi Arabia, Slams PGA Tour at Final LIV Golf Event in Miami

Source: Yahoo Sports

Former President Donald Trump is playing host to another LIV Golf event this week.

Trump played in a pro-am on Thursday ahead of the LIV Golf season finale at his Trump National Doral course in Miami, playing nine holes with Brooks Koepka and then nine holes with Sergio Garcia.

It marks the second time that Trump has hosted a LIV Tournament this season, following the controversial league’s stop at his Bedminster course in New Jersey.

Trump has sided with LIV Golf since its inception, which shouldn’t be a surprise given his previous relationships with the PGA Tour, the PGA of America and other traditional golf organizations.

Not that I give a damn about the PGA or golf in general, but this man is completely against America.

Is there not one brutal, authoritarian regime he doesn't have glowing words for?

Trump was furious. I wouldn't doubt that he convinced the Saudis to start this Bone saw league to bring down the PGA,

The Saudi League has sued the Masters, PGA, and USGA for anticompetitive practices, and our DOJ is investigating it.

I have seen many anti-Bone saw League commercials on TV sponsored by the 9/11 survivors really blasting the Saudis and the players who joined up.

THIS particular topic isn't even newsworthy.

Everyone playing is past their prime. And they will only get older and less adept next year. No tv coverage will kill this league soon and newer players won't participate.

Preferably one with a shaft made of one-inch rebar. That should get you the results you seek.

Or you could just cut to the chase and use a Louisville Slugger.

And will piss off the major golfers in the PGA. Those who play in his league will be ostracized.
