A coalition of families and survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks said Tuesday it was “shocked” and “deeply offended” over the PGA Tour’s stunning merger with the Saudi Arabia-backed Private Investment Fund to create a new commercial venture to unify all the global professional golf tours, including LIV Golf and the European tour.
9/11 Families United has long alleged the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia funded and supported al-Qaeda as it prepared for the terrorist attacks. Osama bin Laden, the head of al-Qaeda who ordered the attacks, and 15 of the 19 hijackers were originally from the kingdom.
