Rory McIlroy raises concern about golf 'health' and makes PGA Tour demand | Golf | Sport

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) mentioned his recent meeting with PGA Tour officials, tweeting: “So weird. PGA officials were in my office just months ago talking about how the Saudis’ human rights record should disqualify them from having a stake in a major American sport. I guess maybe their concerns weren’t really about human rights?” #PGALIVMerger
