There are a few alarming trends developing on the global stage of the worldwide sporting industry. With commerce now taking a more significant role in determining the fate of every sport, the influx of money from wherever possible also determines the stories of some of the greatest sporting icons we’ve seen. For instance, Tiger Woods was just months ago saved from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund’s $3,000,000,000 onslaught in the shape of LIV Golf.
