NextImg:9/11 group slams PGA-LIV Golf merger as a betrayal

The 9/11 families group suing the Saudis over alleged links to the terror attacks is blasting the PGA’s merger with LIV Golf calling it an epic betrayal.

They are specifically calling out PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan for flip-flopping.

“PGA Tour leaders should be ashamed of their hypocrisy and greed,” said 9/11 Families United Chair Terry Strada, whose husband Tom died in the World Trade Center’s North Tower.

“Our entire 9/11 community has been betrayed by Commissioner Monahan and the PGA as it appears their concern for our loved ones was merely window-dressing in their quest for money – it was never to honor the great game of golf,” she added.

Her stinging pushback comes just hours after the PGA and LIV Golf announced a blockbuster marriage and the end of lawsuits. The Associated Press reports linking the two will create a powerful commercial entity.

The governor of Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund joins the PGA Tour board of directors and leads the new business venture as chairman, though the PGA Tour will have a majority stake, the AP added. 

The  9/11 Families United group and others who lost loved ones in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks have dogged LIV Golf for its ties to the Saudis.

“Our entire 9/11 community has been betrayed,” Strada added in a statement shared with the Herald.

Strada has also sent a letter to the Justice Department requesting an investigation into Saudi Arabian foreign agents for alleged violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, Politico is reporting.

As the Herald has reported, many are still fighting for justice when it comes to the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the Flight 93 heroes who took on the hijackers crashing into a field in Pennsylvania likely saving lives in the Capitol.

The 9/11 kin are suing Saudi Arabia in a Manhattan federal court for alleged ties to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
