“LIV Golf is around to stay”- Caitlyn Jenner calls out hypocrisy, defends LIV Golf Series
Caitlyn Jenner
Caitlyn Jenner, a retired Olympic gold medalist, says her support for the Saudi-sponsored tour stems from her athlete’s perspective and applauds the capitalist attempt. She just participated in the LIV Golf pro-am. The prestigious, three-day competition was held at Bedminster, New Jersey’s Trump National Golf Club. Henrik Stenson, a Swedish professional golfer, took home the $4 million first-place prize, while every other participant left with money in their pockets.
Fox News interviewed Jenner about her tour participation. “It was just a really fantastic, positive attitude…all the guys seemed like they were having a wonderful time, and it was excellent competition,” said the golfer. “Not only did I have a fun time playing, I played with Ian Poulter and Paul Casey.” The Public Investment Fund, a Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund that has declared war on the PGA, is the source of funding for the new tour.

Caitlyn Jenner defends LIV Golf- says the competition is healthy
Jenner claimed that the level of competition is healthy and that this will force the PGA Tour to find new strategies for luring players.
“If you compete on the PGA Tour and miss the cut, you are not reimbursed for any expenditures, including lodging. The PGA Tour will need to take this seriously and come up with a plan for how they can all cooperate in the future. And I believe that is the best course of action and that it will ultimately benefit golfers,” she revealed.
Widespread criticism of the Saudi-sponsored tour has been levelled at the purported links between Sharia Law’s suppression of human rights and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In light of the Saudis’ Public Investment Fun, Jenner claims that the criticism the tour is receiving “is incredibly hypocritical in so many ways.” Walmart Inc., FedEx Corp., Uber Technologies Inc., Meta Platforms Inc., and other significant U.S. publicly traded companies have sizable investments in Saudi Arabia’s PIF sovereign wealth fund.
“Who put the majority of that money, to be completely honest? We’re most likely them. For years and years and years and years, we have been purchasing oil from Saudi Arabia. With the billion-dollar fund, they are seriously involved in a tonne of different endeavours. They have a sizable stake in Boeing, after all. Are people avoiding Boeing aeroplanes as a result of this?” mentioned Caitlyn.” The LIV tour will continue. Future golf will be entertaining and lucrative, but it will also be fascinating to see and observe what occurs on the business side of professional golf “, Jenner remarked.
