NEWCASTLE UNITED OWNER, CHAIRMAN OF THE PUBLIC INVESTMENT FUND OF SAUDI ARABIA AND THE BACKER OF LIV GOLF, YASIR AL RUMAYYAN WILL BE PLAYING ALONGSIDE 2013 DUNHILL LINKS AND CURRENT LIV GOLF STAR PETER UIHLEIN. ORIGINALLY HE WAS PLAYING UNDER THE PSEUDONYM OF ANDREW WATERMAN, BUT FOLLOWING AN EXCELLENT PIECE OF INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM FROM MARTIN DEMPSTER OF THE SCOTSMAN, REVEALING THAT AL RUMAYYAN WAS PLAYING, THE DP WORLD TOUR HAVE ALTERED THE DRAW TO CONFIRM HIS PARTICIPATION.
THIS IS YET MORE EVIDENCE OF THE THAWING OF RELATIONS BETWEEN THE ESTABLISHMENT AND LIV GOLF, IN ADDITION TO INVITING 5 CURRENT LIV GOLF PLAYERS THIS WEEK. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE FEUD, AND A SIGN OF PROGRESS TOWARDS A RESOLUTION, OR A FALSE DAWN. THE DP WORLD TOUR WOULD SURELY WELCOME INVESTMENT FROM THE PIF NOW, AND HELP ESTABLISH THEIR PART OF A TRUE WORLD TOUR.
LIVE COVERAGE OF THE FIRST ROUND OF THE ALFRED DUNHILL LINKS CHAMPIONSHIP IS ON SKY SPORTS GOLF FROM 12PM, AND YOU CAN FOLLOW LIVE SCORING ON EUROPEANTOUR.COM
ENTRY FOR SPECTATORS ON THURSDAY IS FREE ACROSS ALL THREE COURSES.
