PGA Tour officials, including Tiger Woods, met with representatives from the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) this week in New York, despite the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks taking place on Wednesday.

Rory McIlroy even called it “peculiar timing and did so from Royal County Down, where he is competing in this week’s Irish Open. Also teeing it up there is Padraig Harrington, who is never afraid to lend his perspective and offer solutions to any problem with one’s golf swing.
