Tom Watson has hit out at what he has labeled as the 'hypocrisy' of PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan after his decision to sign a groundbreaking agreement with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF).
The world of golf was left in shock earlier this month, after the PGA Tour confirmed it had joined forces with PIF, and more notably its fierce rival LIV Golf. The Tour had been at war with LIV since its inception last summer, but the new deal will see the two work in unison under one entity, alongside the DP World Tour.
The new project that is set to take over professional golf will be financed by Saudi investment, just as LIV Golf has been since forming 12 months ago.
