‘I Support That Fully’: Lexi Thompson Speaks Out on the Recent Controversy Surrounding Women’s Golf

LIV Golf has been receiving hatred and resentment since its inception, whereas Aramco and Golf Saudi get respect! Notably, Saudi Arabia is the governing body of all the aforementioned companies, yet, only LIV Golf gets all the backlashes. Recently, fans have been wondering why the golf community treats the companies differently, although they’re both backed by Saudi Arabia. While many want women’s golf to stop working with Aramco, LPGA Tour player, Lexi Thompson, doesn’t think the same. And she has a reason for it

“I would say that without the support of Aramco, LET would not be as strong as it’s today,” the golfer said. Aramco and Golf Saudi have been sponsoring several LET tournaments and players for a long time. And according to Thompson, the companies have done nothing but empower women’s golf through it.

Lexi Thompson believes Saudi-backed companies help grow the game
Golf Saudi sponsors many of the LET players like Chiara Noja, Anna Nordqvist, Anne Van Dam, and Olivia Cowan. On the other hand, Aramco, a Saudi Oil company, sponsors six events on the Ladies European Tour. As the company has been at the forefront of support for women’s golf for a long time, Thompson believes the company is good for the game.
