Saudi Golf Tourney With A 'Play Through' Beheading

[Submariner]

A new golf tournament series set up by Saudi Arabia was bashed in a gruesome, scathing spoof in The Onion that featured a photoshopped beheading on the greens during an imagined competition.

The Saudis have launched the LIV tournament series to compete with the PGA in a move widely viewed as so-called “sportswashing” — an attempt to “launder” the nation’s human rights abuses and atrocities, such as the brutal dismemberment murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Bonesaw Mo will probably be upset to see his Saudi Tower Crashers Golf Team treated like this.

1. I wish the Onion had the reach it once did.

That said, good.

I have to say that I will forever laud Tiger for turning down the boatloads of $$ the Saudis tried to heap on him to do their tour. Phil Mickelson and the rest can rot in hell, along with Trump, MTG, and all the other Saudi (and Russian) promoters.

3. Shame the hell out of the golfers,

I'm sure that Trump is in some way behind this. The PGA snubbed him, canceled a major tourney at his golf course and so Trump wants to bring down the PGA.

4. MbS needs a complete makeover, right now the guy looks like the devil incarnate.

Shave the facial hair, ditch the Thobe and put on a nice tan suit. He could go on Oprah, admit to being a closet feminist, cry a little while holding Ms. Winfrey's hand, then maybe show the audience how to cook his favorite Saudi dish. Oh, and wipe that bloodthirsty, evil sneer off his newly-shaven face.

5. The LIV Tour is also a place to launder nuclear secrets
