Now that the Saudi Golf Tour has announced $405 million and 14 tournaments for 2023, excuses run through and say that fugitive golfers have been tossed around in press conferences even more weaker than before – a feat we honestly failed to do. I think it’s possible.
Everyone who is whining about having to golf so much (read: Doing their job for 15 weekends a year) must stay home, shocked and in tears, that Saudi Arabia tour has You can ask them to drop all of that. time with their family go play golf. Pat Perez and Patrick Reed may never recover from the 14-day weekend, especially if the major tournaments end to allow LIV golfers to play. Will they think about the children? How can they expect professional athletes to spend 18 weekends playing their sport?!
Ah, the tears have dried, and moving on to new talking points, that is! Charles Howell III, 43, who raked in $42 million on the PGA Tour, say he has decided jumps train because 1) CEO Greg Norman is his childhood hero (Howell already has a life-size cardboard of the guy) and 2) because he believes sports can be a good motivation.
“In Saudi Arabia, for example, Lewis Hamilton, a Formula One driver, speaks out on these issues,” Howell said. “We are speaking out on these issues now and today. That is the first step of change.”

This is a bald lie from Howell, made even more strange by the fact that he refuses to answer questions on said matters. It really isn’t true. He did not speak out about “these issues now and today”. Nobody does. It’s a funny story. He also said that money had nothing to do with his choice to enter the Saudi league, so it’s possible he’s actually trying to make such a stand-up routine for the press. .
While there’s been a lot of talk from these guys in press conferences about golf being a good motivator, we haven’t really seen it work well in any given situation. However, we have found that it forces a lot of cash into a situation, which the people involved might consider “good”. It’s an incentive to be profitable in their bank accounts, that’s for sure.
Former President Donald Trump will participate Bedminster support at Saudi Arabia’s tournament this weekend, alongside Charles Barkley, who has been in talks with Norman to join the tournament as a commentator.
