The PGA-LIV Bonesaw Classic
The PGA Tour recently announced that it was merging with its competitor, the LIV Golf tournament. LIV is owned by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. You may recall that the Saudi regime drew international condemnation only a few short years ago for the brutal murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi with a bonesaw. As Human Rights Watch notes, this splashy move into professional golf is an attempt by the Saudi regime to "sportswash" its heinous record of abuses.

Rocco Mediate was preparing to play in the 74th PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis. He learned Rush (his favourite band) was in town and invited them for a round at Bellerive. Alex was only who accepted. It was one of his first rounds of golf.
Long story short, Alex developed a love of golf.
