what money can buy
A golf course is a long way from the desert where camels search for food, but they are one and the same, it is the desert. Today Saudi Arabia is alive with the co-joining of LIV and the PGA. The Saudi Public Investment Fund, with an estimated value of $600 billion is the driving force. With seemly unlimited funds they have forced LIV and the PGA to become one. In the long run it will benefit golf. But 9/11 and killing of Jamal Khashoggi, Saudi journalist and columnist for the Washington Post, are images that will linger on. For those who wonder LIV stands for it is Roman numeral 54---a perfect score in golf with a birdie on every hole, and also the number of holes to be played in a LIV tournament.

“They eat small bushes, and clumps of grass if it rains. No plants live very long in the heat. Camels are smart at finding food, and live wild all over the desert, even in the sands of the Empty Quarter.”
