Trump set to make new bundle of cash from Saudi-backed pro golf league

On Wednesday, multiple sources confirmed to Golfweek that a private meeting with golf media members took place to outline plans for a new Saudi Arabia-backed golf series with Greg Norman as the expected commissioner.

The five people spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the series were not to be officially announced until next week. However, on Friday morning news officially dropped that organizers are moving forward with plans.

The plan would include a mix of international and domestic events, and according to a tweet from No Laying Up, a number of former President Donald Trump’s courses could be among those on the future schedule.

Trump has been sympathetic to the Saudi regime in the past, even delivering a full-throated defense of the country in 2018, casting doubt on a U.S. intelligence assessment that the kingdom’s crown prince knew about the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

So nice to see that animal MBS "returning the favor" by helping the *Slobfather cover his legal bills these days.

Wrong on many levels.

Gag me with a murderous Saudi oligarch and a casino-hustling Republican traitor.
