Professional golfers have been blindsided by a surpise merger between two bitterly divided tours.
A deal some believe is sealed in blood. The PGA is joining forces with the Saudi Arabia's rival LIV golf - that's backed by a state owned investment fund. A state that's guilty of serious human rights violations, including the brutal assasination of a journalist by Saudi government agents.
The rival leagues saw a bitter divide between players, with the PGA encouraging golfers to take the moral high ground and reject multi-million dollar Saudi contracts.
So what happens to those contracts now? And has the moral high ground dissolved under foot?
