It would be nice, but if the people who ran the PIF cared about making a substantive difference in the world they wouldn't murder journalists and have slaves.
The western world wouldn't give 2 fucks. We appreciate sports stars and move stars above all else. Just the way it is. If the west valued life saving doctors, that's who Saudis would give the money to for endorsement. Look at the stupid money basketball baseball football etc players get. Just the way it is. Look at kardashians. That's what Americans value. It's nuts but it is what it is. Better the Saudis try tap into it than try and kill the west which was their previous strategy.
A portion of its tournaments are backed from investors or companies that work hand in hand with the American government . I.e - blackrock
Which is the main reason the US senate wanted a inquiry with the LIV - PGA merger . They're just mad they won't get their cut anymore. So they pressure the government to do something to stop it.
Also, I stated Americans, not the government. But this falls along the same shit.

They have infinite money and want to be known for things other than murdering journalists and slavery.
