Percy criticized those who defected to the new league and ranted about funds received from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth funds.
``The more I look into it, the more some people don't care, and some have a good conscience and care,'' said Percy. "After all,, 'They just executed 80 people this week,and cut off their heads.' They are not the nicest people in the world.
I'm rich, so I don't really care. Smith, who would be the highest-ranked player to move to LIV Golf if selected, was reportedly offered more than $100 million to join the series.
