Paulina Gretzky Reveals Death Threats Over Dustin Johnson's LIV Golf Move in Netflix's 'Full Swing'

The controversy surrounding the Saudi-backed league highlights divisions in golf and raises concerns over 'sportswashing.'

Paulina Gretzky, wife of golfer Dustin Johnson, detailed receiving death threats after Johnson's move to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf League, as revealed in Netflix's 'Full Swing' Season 2.
The threats and criticism highlight the divisive nature of LIV Golf, which has been criticized for its ties to Saudi Arabia and accused of 'sportswashing' due to the country's human rights record.
Dustin Johnson's decision to join LIV Golf was motivated by a desire for more family time and control over his schedule, with the league offering fewer events compared to the PGA Tour.
The controversy around LIV Golf and its impact on the sport is a central theme in the latest season of 'Full Swing,' which also explores the personal and professional lives of golfers.
Despite the backlash, Johnson has found success in LIV Golf, winning $35 million in his first season and emphasizing the positive changes in his family life.
