The PGA Tour has suspended all 17 of its members playing in this week's Saudi-funded LIV Golf Invitational.
Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia are among the biggest names to be affected.
On the eve of the first tournament, Mickelson told reporters: "I don't condone human rights violations, I don't know how I can be more clear.
"I understand your question but again I love this game of golf, I have seen the good I have done and I see an opportunity for LIV Golf to do great for the sport around the world and I want to become one." Excited to be part of this opportunity."
