How Should Golf Fans Feel About Watching LIV Golf Events? An Ethicist Weighs in

Don Heider, executive director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics interviewed by Golf Magazine.

Golf Magazine spoke with Don Heider, executive director of the Ethics Center about the Saudi-funded LIV golf series in London and ethical dilemmas faced by sports-fans trying to decipher right from wrong when supporting the sports they love.

"I do think that fans can vote with their eyeballs by not going to tournaments and not watching them. It’s a way to have a voice, of saying, “I can’t in good conscience support an event or a league that is sponsored by a regime that conducts itself in ways that are a violation of what I believe.”
