If you play golf in Saudi Arabia, how bad are the sand traps?

Tiger’s career is effectively over, he apparently doesn’t need money and is interested in preserving his PGA legacy, which puts him 2nd in major wins behind Jack Nicklaus, where he will remain.

At some point you just have to ask yourself, “Do I really need another billion dollars?”

[Principled]

He doesn’t need money - just a chauffeur and a few blond super models.

Saudis are snakes

they treat women like crap, they treat their foreign workers (who do everything) like crap, they were involved heavily in 911 and went to great lengths to stop the 9-11 commission, that innocent guy went into their embassy a few years ago and got killed inside, etc.

yeah we need them as a counter to Iran but still, what freaking snakes

glad Tiger said no

[bigbob]

Didn’t realize he’d lost his mind.

“They are scary motherfuckers to get involved with,” Mickelson said of Saudi Arabia. “We know they killed [Jamal] Khashoggi and have a horrible record on human rights. They execute people over there for being gay. Knowing all of this, why would I even consider it? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates. They’ve been able to get by with manipulative, coercive, strong-arm tactics because we, the players, had no recourse.”

Mickelson got in hot water for the above quote. But I think he became a pariah more for defying the PGA than insulting the Saudis.

Tigers son Charlie should go play.....

[waterhill]

Good for Tiger.

To hell with the Godless Saudis.

[Nifty]

I would take the offer.

Then I would move all the slave labor Nike factories to the US.

You never hear about the Nike jock cabal (L James, etc) complain about slavery over there. Not that Tiger did, but he hasn’t really questioned it.

Tiger you nut it’s a billion I’d play in Pyongyang for that $
