U.S. congressional lawmakers scrutinized PGA Tour officials on Tuesday this week about the group’s tie-up with a rival golf tournament owned by Saudi Arabia. Enter the Saudis, who launched an upstart golf tournament last year, LIV Golf, that competed with the U.S.-based PGA Tour and its European counterpart DTP. There are worries that Saudi Arabia, a regime viewed as hostile to women and LGBTQ groups, would have significant sway over golf’s culture. LIV Golf is owned by Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund.

Millennial bosses might be daunted by their new reports, but there's a lot they can learn from Gen Z. That may be why some millennial managers think of Gen Z as, erm, high maintenance. Insider spoke with management experts, career coaches, and members of Gen Z itself to reframe the narrative around how Gen Z is changing the workplace. Gen Z has no job loyaltyThe rap on Gen Z is that they're all a bunch of job-hoppers with no loyalty.
