According to ESPN, McDowell was one of the lone golfers to provide a response to a question about working on behalf of Saudi Arabia.

"I wish I had the ability to be able to have that conversation with you," McDowell said. "You know, I think as golfers, if we tried to cure geopolitical situations in every country in the world that we play golf in, we wouldn't play a lot of golf. It's a really hard question to answer. You know, we're just here to focus on the golf and kind of what it does globally for the role models that these guys are and that we are, and yeah, that's a really hard question to get into.

"I mean, this has been incredibly polarizing. I think we all agree, the Kashoggi situation, that was reprehensible."
