Just last month, the PGA Tour — the pure, pure, ethically-minded PGA Tour — was so aghast at having even a hint of association with Saudi Arabia, that, per GolfWeek, it blocked the Byron Nelson tournament from adding Raytheon Technologies as a title sponsor.

Raytheon is based in Virginia, but it is one of the world’s largest defense manufacturers. One of its clients for advanced missile systems? The Saudis.

For the PGA Tour — the pure, pure, ethically-minded PGA Tour — this was a deal breaker.
