Golf great Greg Norman's description of the murder of a journalist as a mistake is wrong and misguided, according to the organization.
The US believes that the Saudi crown prince ordered the murder of the journalist.
Saudi Arabia was using a golf club to clean its image, according to a report.
The human rights organisation said that the regime's human rights record is an "absorbent" one, from the murder of Khashoggi to recent mass executions.
Greg Norman made a mistake when he said that the Saudi government's attempt to cover up the murder of the journalist was wrong.
The Saudi authorities have tried to sweep their crimes under the carpet, avoiding justice and accountability at every turn.
The journalist was killed while visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
Saudi Arabia executed 81 men in one day earlier this year, and being LGBT is a crime in the kingdom.
The Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia provides money for many sporting events, including Formula 1, boxing and football. It provided 80% of the funds for the takeover.
Norman, who won two Open Championships and spent more than 300 weeks as world number one in the 1980s and 90s, is the chief executive of LIV Golf.
The 67-year-old said that everyone has owned up to the country's human rights record. From what I have read, it has been said. No matter what it is, take ownership.
We have all made mistakes and you just want to learn from them and how to correct them in the future.
Hatice Cengiz, who was the fiancée of Khashoggi, has criticized Norman.
According to Norman, he secured an extra $2 billion from PIF that will allow his plans for LIV Golf to stretch for decades.
The LIV Golf Invitational Series is one more event in a series of sports-washing exercises that the Saudi authorities are using to clean its blood-soaked image.
Everyone involved in any of the sports events held there, or that are sponsored by Saudi Arabia, must be aware of what is going on in the Kingdom and speak out about the government's brazen abuses.
The first of eight LIV Golf events will take place in June.
The requests of Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood and others to play on the PGA Tour have been denied.
