Saudi Arabia is trying to entrench itself in the American culture, not just in tech companies either. The PGA tour-LIV drama is a bit of a fun read if you can find a decent summary article. So much mental gymnastics going on with how that shook out for all parties. Basically SA started a golf league (LIV) buy paying hundreds of millions of dollars a piece to established pro golfers who are probably on their way out of pro sports in terms of their career anyhow. Great deal for an aging player unlikely to win many times again, so many took the money. PGA tour responded by banning these players from competing in their tournaments. Fast forward a year, the PGA tour commissioner sets up a secret deal to integrate SA funding into the PGA tour and blindsides the people resenting the players as well as most anyone else. Doesn't respond to comments when it breaks of course. Mind you this is after that same commissioner was grandstanding for a year against the LIV league about Saudi ethics and bloodmoney. Turns out he was just negotiating a price.
