The 8 dumbest comments made at Tuesday's pathetic LIV Golf press conferences

The LIV Golf Tour is here, unfortunately, and while it’s a super gross league funded by the dirty money of stone-cold killers, it is also shining the light on some golfers and who they really are as human beings.

And let me tell you something, they aren’t great!

LIV Golf held player press conferences Tuesday in London ahead of this week’s debut event and the whole thing was a total mess that was full of embarrassing comments by golfers who should be ashamed of themselves.

If you’re wondering about LIV Golf, it’s a new golf league funded by the Saudi government, which executed 81 people on March 12 of this year. It’s the same government that has committed various human rights violations for many years but now this golf league is here to try to help them look like better people. Sportswashing, folks. It’s called sportswashing.

Let’s look at some of the worst comments from today.

Graeme McDowell said he tries "to be a great role model to kids" while taking money from killers.

This is an amazingly maddening watch:

McDowell also rambled about how something new is good when really that something new is just a lot of new money in his bank account:

Talor Gooch, who has one win on the PGA Tour, decided to play dumb instead of sticking up for human rights.

This is just pathetic:

Dustin Johnson explained how he chose what's best for he and his family.

This dude has made over $74 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour and has made additional money in his numerous endorsements, which includes a private jet company and a huge bank in Canada.

Louis Oosthuizen said he was close to retiring to his farm but then he couldn't pass up this dirty money.

Who can say no to such an opportunity! Not this one-time major winner:

One LIV official got mad at a reporter for doing their job.

This poor LIV official.

Ari Fleischer was there and said something pretty dumb.

Come on, man.

Gooch and Kevin Na made one of the dumbest arguments for joining LIV over the PGA Tour.

I mean, this is silly:

This wasn't said but here are the list of teams names, which are also dumb.

Congrats, Sergio Garcia, on being the captain of team Fire Balls.

Also, look at these terrible team logos:
