Saudi Golf CEO sees opportunity for 'LIV Majors' if OWGR doesn't comply

Golf Saudi CEO Majed Al Sorour "walked back comments he made to a reporter that he would 'celebrate'" if the four majors "restricted LIV Golf players from competing in those tournaments and he would go so far as to 'create my own majors for my players.'" The comments which ran in a New Yorker story last week were "widely panned." Sorour in a statement following the release of the story said, "I have the utmost respect for the majors. ... The story wrongfully expressed and misrepresented my views. The majors are indeed the best platform where LIV golfers and other tour golfers can compete, despite the PGA Tour’s suspension of our players" (GOLFWEEK, 10/21).
