LIV Golf plans to hold 3 events at Trump-owned properties

LIV Golf, the fledgling professional golf tour backed by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, plans to play three tournaments this year at golf clubs owned by the Trump Organization.

LIV Golf said Monday it will host tournaments at the Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C.; Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, in Bedminster, New Jersey; and the Trump National Doral in Miami, Florida.

The schedule more directly links President Donald Trump, who is running to retake the White House in 2024, to a monarchy criticized for human-rights abuses. A U.S. intelligence report concluded in 2021 that Saudi Arabia's top official, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, approved the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
