The recent announcement ending the civil war in professional golf could benefit the Trump family business by potentially allowing major tournaments to continue being held at Trump-owned courses in the US and even overseas. This development, stemming from the close relationship between former President Donald J. Trump and Saudi Arabia, has garnered some criticism due to concerns over ethical and political conflicts of interest. Despite this, Saudi Arabia has injected new money and competition into the sport, and LIV Golf, the Saudi-funded breakaway professional golf circuit, has been accused of utilizing wealth to improve the country’s global reputation and obscure human rights issues through sports. This campaign appears to have derived business opportunities and greater prominence in the golf world for Mr. Trump, who has long sought to host major tournaments. LIV Golf and the Trump family have aligned themselves against the PGA Tour, with events recently held at Trump courses signifying a return to the world of global tournaments for Mr. Trump’s family. The Justice Department is already investigating Mr. Trump’s dealings with foreign governments as he looks to return to the White House in the future, and the alliance between the PGA Tour and LIV may ramp up these concerns. Nonetheless, the Trump family business continues to work towards hosting LIV tournaments at its clubs, including locations such as Dubai and Scotland. The fees from these tournaments are expected to go directly to individual golf clubs and count towards their overall revenues. While this new alliance could benefit the Trump family business, it also holds political risks for Mr. Trump as he campaigns to return to a potentially conflicted White House.
