Should Pro Golfers participate in the controversial LIVGOLF tournament?

image
Posted by Priyanka S 09 Jun 2022
Some of the game's biggest names are all set to participate in the controversial inaugural LIV Golf tournament. Golf pundits believe that the Saudi-backed series threatens to blow apart elite men's golf.


How much money will players earn?

The $25m (£20m) purse for the event is the largest in golf history. The winner will receive $4m (£3.2m), considerably more than the $2.7m (£2.2m) awarded to the recent winners of The Masters and PGA Championship - while every player is guaranteed at least $120,000 (£96,000) just for completing 54 holes.


WHY THE CONTROVERSY?


Amnesty International UK has accused LIV Golf players of being "willing stooges of Saudi sportswashing" due to the Gulf kingdom's "appalling human rights record".
 
Amnesty International UK's chief executive, Sacha Deshmukh, said: "It's been extremely disappointing to hear a number of golf's best-known figures attempting to play down the terrible murder of Jamal Khashoggi while sidestepping the real gravity of Saudi Arabia's appalling human rights record."
