The Saudi-sponsored LIV Golf Invitational Series will debut in a new league at the league's third event on July 29, at Trump, where Paul Casey, ranked 27th in the world, will make his debut. I plundered another player from the PGA Tour. National Golf Club Bedminster.
Casey, recovering from a back injury and whose last tournament was the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play Championship in March, will make him a "fake" when he takes Saudi Arabia's money. I used to say that.
"That didn't work for me," Casey told Independent in 2019 about the human rights implications of playing in Saudi Arabia that year. "I haven't talked much about it and I'm not sure if I want to do it, but I'm sure I've signed the contract and I'm getting paid there, so I'm a hypocrite."
Following that stance, 44-year-old Casey has reversed the course by competing in Saudi Arabia for the past two years.
"I think sports have the power to influence change. I listened to Saudi's commitment to this and its vision for the future," he said.
"I hope my participation makes a difference because it's always better to include it rather than exclude it when eliciting changes. I'm looking forward to seeing these changes first hand.
Casey joins the Crashers GC team, capped by Bryson DeChambeau.
The PGA will suspend Casey after Casey's first tee off with LIV, following a previous policy enacted by Commissioner Jay Monahan.
