Saudi Arabia's golf case threatens to spill kingdom secrets

Saudi officials who oversee the kingdom’s U.S. investments haven’t been shy about flaunting their ties with top American business and political figures. That includes wearing MAGA caps as they swing golf clubs alongside former President Donald Trump. But they’ve been silent about details of these relationships. That’s changing, as a result of a federal lawsuit in California pitting Saudi-owned golf tour upstart LIV against the PGA. In a sports lawsuit with international implications, a federal court in California has ruled Saudi Arabia’s hands-on management of LIV has cost it the legal protections that foreign governments normally enjoy from U.S. courts.
