Times in October that Saudi officials

A U.S. intelligence report concluded in 2021 that Saudi Arabia’s top official, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, approved the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
LIV Golf held tournament at two Trump-owned golf clubs last year, drawing protests. The group 9/11 Justice, which includes family members of people killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks, last year asked the former president to reconsider hosting the Saudi-funded league in Bedminster, New Jersey.
In a letter, the group said the decision brought them “deep pain and anger” given Saudi Arabia’s role in the 2001 attacks. Members of 9/11 Justice also protested outside the LIV tournament played at the Doral course in Florida last October.
Trump has defended hosting the LIV Golf tournaments, telling the buy phone number list New York are “good people with unlimited money” and that the U.S. has “human rights issues here as much as anybody.”
A Trump Organization spokesperson did not answer questions regarding any ethical implications around hosting tournaments held by LIV Golf or how much the company is being paid.
In a statement, Eric Trump, one of Trump’s sons and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, said the organization is “honored to be hosting three LIV Golf events at our properties,” adding, “What LIV Golf accomplished in their first season was truly remarkable, and we are excited to raise the bar even higher together in 2023.”
LIV launched last year as an alternative to the PGA and has attracted some of golf’s top stars, including Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau. The PGA last year suspended several prominent players from participating in its events.
The CW Network, which is partially owned by CBS parent company Paramount Global, in January said it will air 14 events from LIV Golf under a new broadcast partnership deal.
