9/11 victims’ families slam LIV Golf’s ‘shameless defectors’ as protests set to continue

A group representing the families of those killed in the 9/11 attacks have slammed LIV Golf figures ahead of the rebel tour's third invitational event this week.

On Thursday, 48 players will compete in the latest Saudi-backed 54-hole tournament at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster. Among them will be Henrik Stenson, who this month was sensationally stripped of the European Ryder Cup captaincy over his defection to Greg Norman's venture.

The development led to former skipper Bernard Gallacher launching a scathing attack on Norman, accusing him of deliberately targeting Stenson to undermine the iconic team event. And the build-up to the latest LIV party in New Jersey has been further marred by protests from 9/11 Families United , an organisation consisting of family members of those murdered in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
