dustin johnson, phil mickelson -- phil mickelson is making 40 million dollars a year. he lost all his corporate sponsors, and now he signed for 200 million over 3 or 4 years, i guess he's happier. how do you look at yourself in the mirror? i am so disciplined about this. >> okay, i get what you are saying, and he said he's making kardashian money. i don't know, i don't know charles barkley makes. >> a lot. >> but 200 million dollars over the course of 3 years, that's a lot of money for anyone. you said it was phil mickelson who's gonna get much money? >> torture million, we're not sure if is 3 or 4 years, but dustin johnson got at least 150. players that can hardly crack an egg are cashing in for 50 million. it is crazy, stupid money, like you get in a monopoly game. they are doing it to sportswash their image. whether charles thinks i am making up the word or not, it is happening, and it works. by the way, it is going to work. they are here for good, and the pga tour now, they have too many stars now. they are paying too much money, all these guys are jumping ship. we

dustin johnson, phil mickelson, phil mickelson was making $40 million a year.his corporate sponsors, and now he signed for 200 million over three or four years, i guess he's happier. how do you look at yourself in the mirror? >> okay. >> i'm so disappoint about this. >> okay. i get you're saying. you're saying he's making kardashian money, i don't know, i don't know charles martin barkley makes. but $200 million over the course of three years? that's a lot of money for anyone. you said was phil mickelson is getting that much money? >> 200 million, we're not sure if it's three or four years. but justin johnson got at least 150, players that can hardly crack an egg are cashing in for 50 million. it's crazy, stupid money let you get in a monopoly game. and they're doing it to sportswash their image. whether charles thinks i'm making up the word or not. it's happening, and it works. and by the way, it's going to work. they're here for good. and the pga tour now, they've got too many stars now, they're paying too much money, all these guys are jumping ship, and so,

very bristling, not at all the phil mickelson the gregarious guy that were used to seeing.ck in june. yesterday, with a golfer at the writer crepe veteran named paul casey, i asked him, now that he has this forum, and he has the ear of mbs, would he work on women's rights? which of course are horrendous in saudi arabia, and even worse, gay rights, lgbtq rights. and in both cases, basically, paul casey talked about a 17 year old girl that he had played golf with that was his answer about the women issue. sports washing 101. and then, when i followed up about gay rights, he said i don't know enough about the topic. he's 45 years old, he traveled around the world. these guys already got the playbook, they've already got the script, and the saudis are loving it because they're getting exactly what they want with him, sports washing from big names in the game. >> now we have a former president making a statement about not being able to get to the bottom of 9/11. really unbelievable. christine brennan, glad you're here, thank you so much. well, it's an outrageous fortune. we're t

we can discus phil mickelson has done or whatever, this is a former president of the united states thatas ambitions, yet again, to be the president of the united states. the saudis have contributed $2 billion to a business venture run by jarad kushner. 700 of those that parishes were from new jersey, many of them around people working in the financial district in the twin towers, this is a former president of the united states, maybe i am outside of my lane by saying this, but when you talk about -- leave policies aside -- you talk about somebody who told the gigantic lie about the election and now it is obvious took specific steps to overturn a legitimate election, attack the pillars of democracy, a former president of the united states in bed and relishing being in bed with the people who very well, according to what information we are getting from released fbi files and from the state department there is reason to believe that they were responsible for financing and providing logistical help to the 19 terrorists who pulled off the september 11th attack. 15 of whom were saudis. this,

in a number of players like phil mickelson and others have gotten very large upfront money includingons of dollars. the pga tour cannot compete with that on a financial basis, but the saudi royal family has unlimited funds. that's almost like a free agency question within sports. the question of principle has to do with, who's underwriting this? the 9/11 families are especially incensed today because the liv tour has announced that they'll play an event at the bedminster course, donald trump's bedminster course, at the end of this month. and their final event of their first season will be at his doral course in miami in october. >> yeah. and when you make of that? because -- when you think of the timing here, it complicates everything we're talking about these funds, you're talking about potential candidacy in 2024. >> well, we know that donald trump is motivated in part by evening scores by revenge after some comments he made in 2016 the pga tour pulled an event from the doral course as i recall. and then the pga itself, the pga tournament, which is one of the four majors was schedu

phil mickelson said hejust wanted to had made them.just wanted to enjoy the week. they are not talking about it, but we have heard today from martin slumbers, the chief of the rna, the game �*s governing body and he said the game is fracturing, and he doesn't buy when these liv golfers talk about growing the game. he said they are driven by money. but, he stopped short of saying that they would ban players from the open championship, but he said it might become harderfor them to championship, but he said it might become harder for them to qualify. rory mcavoy has also been strong on this subject. may be rather tongue in cheek, he said he hoped a liv golfer would not win the open this week. ,, , , ., ~' week. selfishly for me, i think there would _ week. selfishly for me, i think there would be _ week. selfishly for me, i think there would be better - week. selfishly for me, i think there would be better for - week. selfishly for me, i think there would be better for the l week. selfishly for me, i think- there would be better for the g

the biggest name is phil mickelson, dustin johnson is another one many will know.p players in golf anymore. tiger woods said no way, rory mcilroy, no way. on and on it goes. but it is saudi-backed. the money is mbs, mohammad bin salman is linked to and officials have said ordered the murder of jamal khashoggi in 2018, the murder and dismemberment. so, basically what i've written and said is that these players who have decided to jump to liv golf, which is mostly an exhibition, three rounds, no cut, not at all as competitive as we're used to seeing tiger woods, is they're taking money. they're taking money from the msb fund linked to khashoggi and linked to 9/11. >> have they compartmentalized? that's a statement to make. but have they spoken about the idea of compartmentalizing, the politics, the optics, the sociopolitical structure at play in saudi arabia? zbler talking about golfers here and we're talking about athletes who just want to play golf. in boston in june -- as you mentioned, i was in bedminster yesterday them asking them specific questions. my question

those players included top names like phil mickelson and dustin johnson. their contracts are upwards of $100 million apiece. when asked for confirmation, they told cbs news that they do not comment on confidential contracts. pro golfer, paul casey, defended the league. >> i can look you in the eye and say that i see a trajectory, a positive ajectory. it was vei hope thco devastating. he is calling on the athletes to stand with 9/11 victims. >> if you don't want to stand with us, stand with the people that had to make a decision in those buildings. should i jump from the hundred four, or should i burn alive, or the people in the airplanes that had to call their loved ones and give them a final goodbye. do it for them. >> reporter: in a statement to cbs news, they have said, as we have said, these families have our deepest sympathy. some may not agree, but we believe golf is a force for good around the world. at the end of october, trump is expected to host them for another tournament at trump national miami. we reached out to trump for comment on the contro

golf legend phil mickelson hit the opening tee shot yesterday but not before a heckler got this in.a listen. >> let's go. >> do it for the saudi royal family. >> awkward. yesterday families who lost loved ones in the 9/11 terrorist attacks protested near the course just 15 miles away from the world trade center. >> my dad was a man of integrity, and someone who believed that the actions we take in this lifetime define us, but a word to mr. trump and all of the participating golfers in this tournament, my father wasn't the type of person who could be bought, and i just want you to know that if you were there that day, my father would have run in to save you without a second thought. >> i see these golfers dodge questions, put their head in the sand, not want to confront us. not want to address our issues and just say golf is for the greater good or i'm doing this for my family, well, my dad went to work that day providing for his d got blown away, and if we can't get a golfer to at least look us in the eye and tell us that money don't give a shit about the atrocities of saudi arabia,

well, the likes of, for example, superstar player phil mickelson, $200 million he is reported to be earningo, at the first of these golf tournaments. another american player, the highest ranked golfer to sign up to date, dustinjohnson, rumoured to be earning around to £120 million for his participation. but for those big stars, it does rather raise the question like, why are you risking your legacy? but i guess, once again, it shows that saudi arabia's investors — and this is being done through the country's sovereign wealth fund, the same organisation that bought newcastle united — they believe that this can become the big thing in golf — the number one tour. so when you put this sportswashing allegation to them, they say, "no, that's underestimating our motive. this is a good business investment. we believe it makes sense." but that remains to be seen. dan rowan, the bbc�*s sports editor. there was a time when people used to say that politics should be kept out of sport, but we've all long since passed that point. international sport is often just another area of politics, and as the worl
