But that dirty PIF money that’s now coming to the PGA he’s gonna have no problem taking. Biggest hypocrite around PGA is garbage
Anything which has Greg Norman's fingerprints all over it will, sooner or later, crumble and turn to ashes.
He’s been asked questions and answering them he’s not laughing at anything
No one cares what you think Rory. Surely its time to wind your neck in about LIV Golf. Do your own thing
Did LIV Golf’s Competition Increase PGA Tour Money?
Yes — the launch of LIV Golf in 2022 triggered a major increase in PGA Tour purses and player compensation, with the Tour quickly raising prize money to compete for top talent.
Immediate impact:
Before LIV, most PGA Tour events had purses under $10 million, and there was no “Signature Event” tier. LIV’s debut offered $25 million purses for regular-season events and $50 million for its championship, with 60% going to the winning team’s operating budget and 40% split among players GolfLink. This was a massive incentive, prompting the PGA Tour to act swiftly.
PGA Tour’s response:
In 2023, the Tour doubled down on purse inflation, creating its first “Signature Events” — high-profile tournaments with $20 million purses (later some, like The Players, reached $25 million, and the Tour Championship $40 million) Golf Channel+1. Over 47 events in 2023, the Tour paid $560 million in purses GolfLink. This was part of a broader strategy that also included the Player Impact Program, playoff bonuses, and expanded retirement benefits
LIV not for you … but … you took the increase in PGA Tour $$ that was created by the competition for players.
Imagine the NHL refusing to let Wayne Gretzky in the league after the WHA folded.
Imagine the NBA refusing to let Dr. J play in the NBA when the ABA folded.
Truth.
so many butt hurt americans in the comments
They are all about self preservation.
LIV accomplished it's goal. It got players on the PGA more money. Rory is an loser. The PGA is monopoly that's been taking advantage of players for years. Glad Rory is a fan of non competitive practices….
Absolutely đź’Ż
Well and generously articulated ROARS …makes me respect your qualities yet more…..its was already pretty lofty to be fair x
