11. Speaking of the Saudi golf operation
Wed Apr 15, 2026, 11:04 PM

LIV — I forget what the initials stand for but that’s not important.

LIV was formed 4(?) years ago as a pro golf association that would rival the PGA, holding tournaments (at golf resorts owned by you know who) and certifying pro players. A few mostly lower ranked US pros played in some of the first tournaments then they went back to the US PGA.

Now the golf world is awash in reports that LIV is poised to disappear as the Saudis say they are moving their public investment fund into things that are profitable.

So now Trump Golf goes the way of Trump Steaks, Trump University, Trump Water, . . . .
