The Saudis have so much money, they could not care less about making a profit on this thing.

I know some Aramco guys live here in Houston that have to travel to Saudi a few times a year. Money to them really is no object and yes, the way they throw money around, this is just a blip on their radar. I imagine it will last as long as they are amused that they are driving a wedge into American golf.

Well yeah... That's sort of the problem and unknown for the LIV ( at least from what's released and what I've read)
We know this is only an goodwill instrument for the Saudis. They have 250 million in cheetahs on gold chains...so of course they don't care about the money. The question is.... What does the LIV do when the Saudis change direction (either abruptly or after their initial "contract").?

When Greg is having to go get American Express / Dell / xyz sponsorship
That would be my fear as a young player... The big signing bonuses would presumably be gone ( with Saudi withdrawal) and then I'm playing for roughly the same amount as the PGA tour but with less staying power ( unless LIV expands beyond 48)
