European Tour Chief Pelley: "The Saudi International is on our schedule in 2019, and I really don’t have anything more to add than that"

As the CIA’s conclusion in the Jamal Kashoggi murder was leaked to multiple media outlets—here’s the Washington Post version—the European Tour appears set to give the mastermind behind the assassination a tournament in 2019. The Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was also stated by European Tour press releases to have been personally involved in the creation of the new tournament.

From Golfweek’s Alistair Tait from Dubai:

“I can simply say that the Saudi International is on our schedule in 2019, and I really don’t have anything more to add than that,” he said several times to repeated questioning.

We discussed the sensitive but increasingly-not-complicated matter last week on State of the Game with The National’s Arthur MacMillan.

Just racking the brain here, I can’t think of a tournament hosted by a known orderer of assassinations of journalists. Or anyone.
