What happened
Trump announced the agreement on Truth Social on December 15, 2023, while campaigning for the Republican nomination. The New York Times reported in July 2024 that the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, which backs LIV Golf, "paid the Trump family to host one of its tournaments at the Trump National Doral near Miami earlier this year"; the amount was not reported. A House Oversight Democratic staff report noted that in an April 2023 deposition Trump said he believed he "could sell that to LIV Golf for a fortune, Saudi Arabia," referring to his Turnberry course in Scotland. The report said Trump courses had hosted LIV events in 2022 and 2023 and that neither side had revealed the terms.
