A week before the Masters, 9/11 Families United has sent a letter to Augusta National asking to speak to the club’s chairman about the decision to allow Saudi-backed LIV golfers to play in the tournament, according to a report by USA Today.
The group also plans to hold a press conference at Atlanta’s The Commerce Club to discuss the decision, according to the newspaper. Augusta National Golf Club owns much of the property around the property in Augusta.
In a letter to Augusta chairman Fred Ridley from 9/11 Families United, obtained by USA Today, national chair Terry Strada wrote: “Countless Americans have said they will ‘never forget’ what happened on 9/11, but those words without actions are meaningless. You have the power to stand with the 9/11 community and show that you have not forgotten about your fellow Americans.
