Donald Trump brings the conditions of the PGA Tour to Saudi Arabia

For serious people who deal with serious things, it must appear a breathtaking trivialization of American influence in order to see that the presidency is incorporated into a tedious commercial dispute over whether professional golfers should be paid too much or alternatively too much. There are many geopolitical priorities that are worth discussing -several wars and regional fire materials, economic crises, the WTF fiasco with the EEA airport -but nobody is Trump’s heart as close as Golf he promised that he could repair in 15 minutes.

On February 20, he arranged a summit of the White House, in which Woods, his teammate Adam Scott, his commissioner Jay Monahan and PIF boss Yasir al-Rumayyan were involved. Instead of a breakthrough, this led to a breakdown. Al-Rumayyan rejected the proposed terms of the tour and burst in the way he did not feel respected. Since then it has been a complete radio silence, with Al-Rumayyan no indication that he is interested in reaching an agreement. Not even that he gave access to the thawed matters.

Rising television values ​​and sponsors who arrive again have the tour it browses it a year ago. The board has huge negotiations, in which the PIF has not submitted a single proposal to bridge the gap. There is a growing internal feeling that it is time to shorten a deal or cut bait, and there is a symbolic period that imagines this clarity: the second anniversary of the framework contract. June 6th is only 25 days away.

After the fate of the Tour Trump has involved the trump, it is now in the hands of a man who is completely transactional and only loyal for himself. Will he insist on dealing conditions that the tour will benefit from the investment fund, which gave his son-in-law of $ 2 billion of $ 2 billion? Will he alienate a strategic and economic ally, just like the United States tumbled towards a recession? Will there be a greater handle in the shade? He may be a tour type than a Liv type, but it is basically a trump type. Nothing has ever come before his own interests. But it’s not like having a long success story when he has crossed his alleged partners, right, Jay?
