Graeme McDowell reporting receiving some offensive comments.
Not really unexpected, but not how conversations with Golf stars should work.

Long range forecast is for some rain, but little wind, so scores likely good, even if conditions aren't.

He should read this thread, some absolutely embarrassing comments made about professional sportsmen.

I haven't heard what sort of offensive comments are being made to GMac, and they shouldn't happen, but he knows better than most other players to think that he can keep contentious political issues out of this, and all his repetition of 'We are just here to play golf' is not going to be an adequate response.
When LIV players joined, they knew 100% that they were going to get grief about Saudi.

He can still call out offensive comments though, can he not? Unless you are suggesting he should either just accept them, or he should have elected not to join LIV simply because he might get some offensive comments? Which would be a pretty poor way of making a professional decision.

I think some directed at him would have received instant ban on here!s

This is such a pointless comment. I am old, over the hill, worked damn hard as a youngster and now I am older would like more money for less if I could, who wouldn't, maybe you, but the majority would and you can 100% understand that. If another employer offered me a 3 day week for exactly the same as my 5 day I would be all over it.

At times, I believe.
I can remember one (in)famous question by 'the Press' - handled perfectly by Dr Christiaan Barnard - about the 1st heart transplant that demonstrates the attitude of 'the Press' at times.

I have absolutely no issue with golfers taking the easy money. I just can't take to the rubbish they were spouting about growing the game etc.
Another point, sportsmen often want more than just money. Wins, records, beating the best etc, are important to them, once financial security is achieved. So, if LIV doesn't become a recognised major tour, will they be happy without the kudos of winning the "elite" events?
Of course it may become elite and that becomes a moot point.

Read what I wrote. I said he should EXPECT them. If you stood in front of The Kop at Anfield and shouted that Jurgen Klopp is an incompetent idiot, you should expect to be bottled. The crowd shouldn't bottle you, and I don't approve of them doing so, but you can't say you shouldn't have expect it.
GMac shas been giving his analysis of Saudi human rights, 9/11 etc. He is digging that hole much deeper, and he should consider just shutting up.
In the meantime, GMac can respond to the comments as he wishes, taking into account whether his responses will make the situation better or worse. If he doesn't care about the origins of Saudi money, that is up to him. But those who sponsor him, watch him and support him may have different views and he knew that before he decided. If he weighed that into his decision, fine. If he didn't, more fool him. He also knew that he would be banned by the PGA Tour, not be Ryder Cup captain etc, so if he is fine with that too, cool.

Nonsense - there has been nothing said on here about any of the players that is “embarrassing” nor something that hasn’t been said about players many times over the years.

So they generate billions of dollars from violating human rights?

Your Klopp analogy is pathetic
Maybe you should read what your posting before posting.
Bottled lol
One of the reasons the gap between LIV golfers and PGA tour players is the PGA players dissing the LIV players.
Apparently all the golfers that have gone over are past their prime and on the wain,so why worry then.
Just get on with it.
The more they comment the bigger the divide will be.

the players? Absolutely but the DP tour is pretty much reliant on the Ryder Cups revenue to survive tbh
It’s probably a stronger bargain position for the LiV players than the tour

I answered our question.
If you wish to start a 'political' thread, good luck to you.
