Just a fantastic blend of point missing and obtuseness on display here as both quotes about the Saudi Golf League’s latest hires hide behind “grow the game”. In the first sentence!
Guess they didn’t read my GTG variant warning.
For Immediate Point Missing:
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. and NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- LIV Golf Investments announced today that it has appointed Monica Fee and Lily Kenny as Senior Vice President, Global Head of Partnerships and Head of Strategy, respectively.

"This is an exciting time for all of us as we grow our team, and the appointment of Monica and Lily is the latest show of force of how we are strengthening the commercial arm of the business."
Grow it all! And hey, they even can go to restaurants when they visit Saudi Arabia so they’ve got that going for them.
Fee previously served as a Property Sales Agent at CAA Sports, representing many of the world's top sports properties for naming rights opportunities and global sponsorship. In 2017, Fee was recognized by Adweek as one of "The Most Powerful Women in Sports." In her new role as Senior Vice President, Global Head of Partnerships, Fee will be tasked with identifying key partners that share LIV Golf Investments' vision for establishing groundbreaking platforms to grow the sport of golf across the world.

Want to grow the game? Take all those millions you’re going to pay pros and put them into affordable par-3 courses, public golf and starter programs.
I feel more g word drops coming…
Kenny joins LIV Golf Investments from Amazon where she played an integral role in the company's rapidly growing entertainment space over the last five years, most recently leading the international expansion strategy and the launch of Amazon's ad supported video service, IMDb TV, in the United Kingdom.
