Carly Booth faces criticism over sponsorship deal with Golf Saudi
• Social media posts announcing the deal now deleted
• Anya Alvarez says post ‘lacks total awareness’
The Scottish golfer Carly Booth has suffered an online backlash after announcing a sponsorship deal with Golf Saudi in social media posts that were subsequently deleted.
In posts on Twitter and Instagram, Booth wrote: “I am honoured to represent @Golf_Saudi as they acknowledge that women in sport is of paramount importance. Although culturally they are in a different place to some countries, they are doing everything they can to introduce girls and women into sport and lead healthy lifestyles.”
