The recent PGA-LIV golf merger is the latest example of growing Saudi influence on sports.
Originally viewed as a deep-pocketed but unserious distraction from the PGA Tour, they effectively muscled into the picture through sheer financial willpower.
The new PGA Tour might look a whole lot like the old one, except with a far wealthier outside party controlling the purse strings.
And that's kind of been the Saudi strategy as Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has expanded his influence over multiple sports worldwide.
Detailed below are the six recent high-profile examples of how the Saudi PIF keeps winning:
