This isn’t so much about what they’re going to do to professional golf’s reputation. It’s about what professional golf’s place in the world can do for their reputation. That’s what sports washing is.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
