No Biden comment on PGA merger with Saudi golf league

The Biden administration is not too eager to address the PGA’s announced merger with a Saudi-backed golf league. At the daily White House briefing, two administration officials flat out refused to comment on news that the PGA is merging with the Saudi-sponsored LIV circuit. And later when asked, President Biden only joked that he’s “planning on playing in the PGA.” The golf merger announcement happened to come on the same day Secretary of State Blinken was meeting with the Saudi crown prince — one year after the president’s much-criticized visit to Saudi Arabia.
