Tough love from Fred Couples to some of his Task Force disciples and player fanboys who’ve taken Saudi Arabia’s advances to play the LIV Golf events.
From Christine Brennan’s story about Wednesday’s USGA press conference and the struggles to recall the Saudi regime’s role in 9/11, or the struggle families have had with the United States government to better understand the Saudi involvement.
“It’s just amazing to hear all these people who can’t even answer simple questions about LIV Golf,” Couples told USA TODAY Sports in a phone interview Wednesday afternoon. “For these 9/11 families, it must be a crushing blow.
“If I had an 18-year-old son who was killed by a drunk driver, I think I would fight my whole life to make sure people drinking at a bar did not get into a car. I’m sure it’s the same with the 9/11 families and Saudi Arabia. To not be able to answer these questions because they are getting $200 million or he can’t answer because he’s making $110 million or $65 million, it’s just crazy.”
