LIV Golf, the league financed with billions of dollars from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund and facing scrutiny over its motives and ambitions, has hired one of Washington’s most influential consulting conglomerates, whose co-founder works with a super PAC supporting Gov.

"Ron's strength as a politician is that he doesn't give a fuck," the New Yorker article said. "Republican voters love him because he says what he's going to do and he goes and does it," Cox said.
