[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] Former U.S. President Donald Trump has come out in support of LIV Golf, which is backed by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund.
On the 20th (Korean time), former President Trump posted on his social media, "PGA Tour players should now participate in LIV Golf and earn money." He claimed, "All golfers who remain loyal to the PGA Tour will pay a heavy price when the PGA Tour eventually merges with LIV Golf," adding, "At that time, players will gain nothing and will only receive a thank-you from the PGA Tour."

Trump's open support for LIV Golf stems from longstanding tensions with the PGA Tour. The PGA of America clashed with Trump last year over the venue for the PGA Championship. Trump has a close relationship with Greg Norman (Australia), who spearheaded the creation of LIV Golf. The third LIV Golf Invitational tournament will be held on the 30th at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, USA.
