LIV Golf has been accused of sportswashing against a backdrop of human rights issues in Saudi Arabia and now their boss has been sent a plea from the sister of a man on death row.
Zeinab Abu al-Kheir has written to Greg Norman highlighting the case of her 57-year-old brother Hussein, a father of eight children who has been placed on death row after "confessing" to drug smuggling. The LIV Golf commissioner has reportedly said he 'hadn't seen' the letter and refused to comment.
The powerful letter highlights, however, that the issue is likely to continue swirling around the LIV series. "Sportswashing kills," Abu al-Kheir writes in the letter published by the Daily Mail.
