No players have said they will play in the new venture yet, which will initially plough money into the Asian Tour with 10 events in 2022. The new venture has been criticised as some suggest the golf series is a way for the Saudi government to sportswash its human rights issues. 

Despite the fact no players have supported it at this current time, the group are ploughing ahead with appointments. Former PGA Tour rules official Slugger White has signed up with the company. 

Norman recently spoke briefly about the new venture. "The players are going to have the opportunity of independent contractors to go play both tours and I think that's fantastic," he said when asked about it. 

Elsewhere, the PGA Tour is yet to grant waivers for the Saudi International in February. A throng of the world's best players which include Dustin Johnson, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose to name but a few have said they will play in the tournament.
