Major shifts are happening in the world of golf. In 2021, LIV Golf was created with funding from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, with promises of guaranteed contracts and increased prize money luring many high profile golfers away from the more established PGA Tour. While conflict between the two golf tournaments was calmed by talks of merging, these talks have deteriorated and LIV Golf continues to be criticized as an alleged effort to improve Saudi Arabia’s reputation in the midst of the country’s human rights abuses. Delegates in this committee represent executives, players, and other stakeholders in LIV Golf aiming to address LIV’s public image and renavigate its relationship with the PGA Tour.
