LIV Golf takes a big swing in New Jersey, but comes up short and wayward
Henrik Stenson, a Rio 2016 silver medalist, overcame a firestorm for joining LIV, leading to his abrupt dismissal as European Ryder Cup captain.

Family members and survivors of the 9/11 terror attacks protest against the former U.S. president and pro golfers playing on the Saudi funded tour.
