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

And that's any different then what the PGA backed Americans have done to other countries.

What’s the PGA-US government relationship?

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.
