LIV Golf's Saudi Con Job Finally Collapsing?

This may be one of the biggest con jobs in modern sports. LIV Golf promised to “change the game.” Instead, it exposed it. Now, with reports swirling that Saudi backing could be pulling away, the same league built on billions may already be cracking. The money that lured top players away from the PGA Tour? It may not be so guaranteed anymore. And that raises the real question: Were these golfers visionaries—or just willing participants in a massive sportswashing operation? From Phil Mickelson to Dustin Johnson and others, players took enormous payouts while fully aware of who was funding it all. A regime tied to documented human rights abuses and the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Now? Some want back in. Back to the PGA Tour. Back to credibility. Back to relevance. In my commentary: - Why LIV Golf never worked as a product - How money replaced meaning - What happens next if the funding dries up - And why accountability still matters Because this isn’t just about golf. It’s about what happens when money becomes the only principle left in sports.
