The viral tweet related to this rumor was unsupported by evidence.
It was true that the first two parts of the tweet correctly described the two pictures. However, completely unsupported by evidence was the main and final line that claimed the trophy was an “intentional” design by the Saudis as an apparent jab about 9/11.
The comparison appeared to use nothing more than vertical lines in both pictures as a way of tying the two unrelated events together. According to NewscastStudio.com, the LIV Golf logo also had four lines, just like the trophy. There’s no evidence that the lines were meant to represent the remains of the twin towers on 9/11.the following:
The league’s look centers around a bold, custom-drawn logotype that sees the “LIV” portion set in distinct letterforms created from four stripes with a folded ribbon-like angles evocative of the groves found on the face of a golf club, though it could also be read as the notoriously neat mow lines along a fairway or the various angles and geometry that come into play in the sport.
“LIV,” which is officially pronounced as if it were the word “live” , is derived from the Roman Numeral for the number 54, which is the score if a player were to play all 18 holes in a game and birdie each hole — that is, scoring one stroke under par on each hole.
