Donald Trump urges golfers to take LIV money despite protests from 9/11 groups

• Former president's Bedminster course to host LIV event
• 9/11 family groups urge boycott of Saudi-backed league

As attention turns to next week's LIV Series event at Donald Trump's Bedminster golf course in New Jersey, the former US president has urged players to join the Saudi-backed tour despite criticism from the families of 9/11 victims.

On Sunday, 9/11 Justice, a group that advocates for victims of the 11 September terrorist attacks, sent a letter to Trump urging him to reconsider his support for the LIV tour. 9/11 survivor groups have long alleged the Saudi government was complicit in the attacks, although no definitive link has ever been proven.
