Growth for Norman's well-funded start-up stalled after golf legend Phil Mickelson was de ounces for comments he made about the Saudi regime, as he publicly weighed whether to sign on to the new venture.

"They're scary motherfuckers to get involved with," Mickelson told reporter Alan Shipnuck. He added, "They killed Khashoggi and have a horrible record on human rights. They execute people over there for being gay. Knowing all of this, why would I even consider it? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates."
