No, Saudi Arabia and @PIF_en did not literally "buy" professional golf with the @PGATOUR and @livgolf_league. It's worse than that. Here's where Mideast aficionados and sports fans can learn from each other. 🧵 1/ In the West, professional golf isn't like football or other sports. Golfers aren't paid by teams. They're "independent contractors." @PGATOUR sanctions events where they compete to win cash prizes. (Not same body as @PGA, the US certifying org that sets game standards)
