The Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series has been in the news for quite some time now. CEO Greg Norman has successfully gathered some of the most talented golfers to join his league. However, there are still a few big names who are completely against the LIV Golf series, and are supporters of the former PGA Tour. Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, has publicly supported the LIV Golf on several occasions. Donald Trump also recently gave Patrick Reed a compliment about his swing. Reed is one of the latest players to join the LIV Golf League.

“I think it’s going to be an incredible investment from that standpoint,” he continued, “and that’s more valuable than a lot of other things because you can’t buy that—even with billions of dollars.” He completely ignored the fact that families of 9/11 attack victims are vehemently opposed to his decision to host LIV events at his golf clubs.

LIV Golf sparked controversy the day it successfully lured players like Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka to join in. No one could have imagined that LIV Golf could pose such a big threat to the PGA Tour. But people’s perspectives changed after Greg Norman brought in the big purses and payouts with the help of Saudi Arabia.
