Casey is a UNICEF ambassador and the picture suggests he is not making the trip to Saudi Arabia because of his ties with the organization which works to save childrens lives and defend their rights in 190 countries and territories.One of those countries UNICEF is focused on is Yemen which has been ravaged by a civil war since 2015 and a Saudi Arabian-led intervention.UNICEF calls on all parties to the conflict and those who have influence on them to abide by the fundamental principle of protecting children even in war, the organization announced in a statement last April.The European Tour has come under scrutiny since announcing the addition of the Saudi event to its schedule following the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Turkish investigators say the Saudi journalist was murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.We have heard some of the criticism of the region. Obviously, freedom of speech is far more available now based on social media, said European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley in November. Weve heard and we have listened. We will continue to monitor the situation and Saudi International is on our schedule in 2019.
