That was actually a pretty impressive piece of journalism, presenting a story of which the surface has only been scratched in the mainstream media. And only a passing reference to the airline industry. Kudos.

I wish your video portrayed the hypocrisy of the PGA more accurately. It was absolutely unbelievable how Monahan acted. Rory Mcilroy called himself the sacrificial lamb for the PGA for how they fooled him. Really shameful.

You make the most interesting videos.

Great video, but should have definitely included their entrance into global football, especially this summer.

Remember, this video was probably in the middle of production when Half as Interesting did their 400 video milestone video and noted how badly sports videos do with the core audience.

Don't expect to see Jet Lag the Game across Saudi Arabia any time soon.

I was an engineer at a company that built trailers for golf equipment companies that toured around with the PGA. Shortly before I left we were quoting a fleet of golf simulator trailers that were intended to tour around saudi arabia and teach people the basics of golf because they were trying to make it popular there

Damn, this is hard sports journalism for Wendover. Takes a lot of research and balls to create this. Keep it up!

That is the same exact argument when US support China to join WTO at 2001. That time the politician argue let China join WTO, with more influence form the Western money and culture into China, will eventually make China improve on human right. 22 years had passed and the result is absolutely devastating, not to mentions the current situation at Hong Kong. The PGA is just finding an excuse for themselves and I believe time will prove they are absolutely on the wrong side of the history.

UAE is sportswashing through cycling, as is bahrain currently. despite having very little cycling tradition, their names are on two of the top 3 teams at Tour de France this year

I know some YouTubers who were paid £30,000+ to go to Saudi Arabia and post some instagrams from there, but God it made me feel sick. Really brought home how corruptive the power of money

Me at the beginning: "What is this sports video, I don't care about sports. I trust you Wendover, what is this?"
Me at the end: "Everyone needs to watch this."

This is the only channel that can get people to watch a 20 min video on anything Golf related 😂

Sam is clearly not going to be visiting Saudi Arabia any decade soon. He should probably stay away from Saudi embassies and consulates also. Well done, thoughtful report as usual!

Wendover Productions and Real Life Lore releasing two long videos about Saudi Arabia just days apart is something to see.

Great and really informative video Sam. Had no idea about any of this. And didn't expect to ever see my local football club (NUFC) in a Wendover video!

The thumbnail is Galaxy brain . You made the Saudi flag from the shadow of a pole .

In Frank Herbert's Dune, each of the ruling families owns shares in the CHOAM corporation. Their power comes from the shares they own. I feel like I'm watching this play out in real time.

Definitely one of your best video essays in a while. Great job!
