PGA Tour board member Jimmy Dunne issues stark warning regarding 9/11 and LIV Golf merger

Jimmy Dunne, a board member of thePGA Tour, has delivered a powerful threat if any evidence emerges linking Saudi Arabia nationals, who were involved in negotiations for the merger with LIV Golf, to the planning of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

LIV Golf, an emerging entity in the golfing world, is financially backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.

Speaking to Golf Channel, Dunne expressed his unwavering commitment to justice, vowing to take matters into his own hands. He stated, "If someone can find someone that unequivocally was involved with it, I'll kill them myself. We don't have to wait around."

Dunne's words carry significant weight, as he himself was profoundly affected by the events of September 11th. Having worked on the 104th floor of the World Trade Center, Dunne was away participating in a golf tournament that fateful day. Sadly, 66 of his colleagues from investment bank Sandler O'Neill lost their lives in the attack.

The families of the 9/11 victims expressed their deep sense of betrayal towards PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan. Despite Monahan's previous criticisms of LIV Golf over allegations of Saudi involvement in the attacks, the commissioner proceeded to strike a lucrative deal with the organization, leaving the families feeling abandoned.

Jimmy Dunne calls for unity and dialogue to prevent future tragedies

During his appearance on Golf Channel, Dunne called for unity in order to prevent future tragedies. He emphasized the importance of bridging divisions and fostering understanding among people, both within the United States and internationally. Dunne believes that communication and dialogue are key to overcoming differences.

"I believe that we should not run away from our differences. And we should get to know each other and basically make it difficult, so that we don't have to have a family deal with what we dealt with 20 years ago," Dunne asserted.

Reflecting on the profound impact of the attacks, Dunne expressed empathy for the victims' families and a strong desire to prevent others from experiencing such devastating loss. He acknowledged the unimaginable pain that would come from having one's own child involved in such an atrocity, further fueling his determination to take action.

Dunne's resolute stance serves as a poignant reminder of the lasting impact of the 9/11 attacks and the need for ability. As the golfing world watches closely, the unfolding developments surrounding the merger with LIV Golf will undoubtedly continue to draw attention and spark crucial discussions about justice and the role of sports in addressing significant societal issues.
