The CEO of Saudi Golf Federation tried to walk back comments he made earlier this week in which he claimed they would start their own major championships if LIV Golf members can't play in the existing ones.
To be fair, it’s hard to see how Sorour was “misrepresented” based on the quote in The New Yorker article.
First, all for major championships — the Masters, the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open and the British Open — are all run independently of the PGA Tour and all other leagues around the world. That means that each individual tournament can decide how its field is determined each year. While the PGA Tour suspended LIV Golf members from playing in their events, that suspension doesn't carry over to majors.
Qualifying for the majors, at least partially, is based on Official World Golf Rankings points — something that isn’t awarded at LIV Golf events. This will make it increasingly harder for LIV Golfers to qualify for majors in the future. Sorour was very clear with how he felt about speculation that the Masters or other majors may ban LIV Golf players.."If the majors decide not to have our players play? I will celebrate. I will create my own majors for my players.How he was “misrepresented” isn’t clear. Sorour, though, is trying to walk back his criticism of the majors while his players are still eligible to compete there.
"These are scary motherf***ers to get involved with … We know they killed [Washington Post reporter Jamal] Khashoggi and have a horrible record on human rights," Mickelson said earlier this year."They execute people over there for being gay. Knowing all of this, why would I even consider it? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates.
