Russia has invaded a sovereign neighboring state and threatens a democratic government elected by its people. Such an action is unacceptable in the 21st century.

I actually bothered to go read the link after I posted above....

7700 yards, par 72, nice.

I think every hole will be have 90 yard wide fairways at the 280 to 350 mark, 20 yard wide before that, be perfectly straight, par 4s no less than 450 yards, par 3s all 200+.  No bunkers or big stones.  Cameras banned.

A fitting Tiger course.

"We never looked for anyone beyond Tiger for the project because we believe in only working with the very best," al-Muntafiq said.

Wow. The guy has never designed a single golf hole and he's the best golf course architect? Somewhere Tom Doak just puked.

They might as well declare Tiger to be the best *insert skilled profession here*! I guess being the best golfer makes you the best at anything. The real question is who is the second rate architect (you know, the guy who will actually have to do the work) who will be giving them the most overpriced finished product in history after Tiger takes his massive cut?
