Spare us the excuses: LIV Golf was always about the money

LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed breakaway golf league, has collapsed despite the enormous financial investment poured into it, according to a column by Lawrence Ostlere in The Independent. The piece argues that the venture was driven purely by money rather than any genuine sporting vision. Ostlere warns that LIV Golf's failure should act as a cautionary tale for a broader sporting world increasingly willing to sacrifice its traditions for financial gain.
