As Yasir Al-Rumyyan moves ever closer to controlling professional golf, Geoff Shacklford and Lawrence Donegan discuss The Athletic's sensational exclusive portraying Mr LIV Golf as an alleged participant in yet more sinister behaviour by the Saudi Crown Prince. In other news, our hosts assess the PGA Tour's downward spiral, with  gloomy news being delivered from the likes of Webb Simpson. There's also golf - Hawaii! Dubai! -and a whole lot more. We also assess the contributions of Keith Pelley and Martin Slumbers as they get ready to leave the stage. A packed show, hence it's 90 minutes long.
