Never in the history of golf have we ever seen such big money games being offered to the players but now it’s happening and the one responsible for this is livv golf apparently a golfer was offered over $500 million yes we’re talking about Hideki Matsuyama in this video we’ll tell you how Matsuyama
Rejected this massive offer to stay with the PGA tour let’s get started so here’s what happened as you must know at the moment Hideki Matsuyama is probably one of the most important golfers on the PGA tour last year he marked the Masters championship and became a prominent
Target for livv golf and it’s not something new that the golfers being linked with livv golf after consistent rumors and news about him not being able to decide whether to go for the Mega offer or not the golfer has finally confirmed that he’ll be staying back
With the PGA Tour by rejecting the offer Matsuyama has actually said no to a whopping $580 million and that we think requires way too much courage because several golfers have said goodbye to livv for merely $50 million he was offered twice the amount Phil mikkelson accepted from the Saudi backed golf
Series and all of this happened because the Japanese golfer is actually a needle mover for the Asian game and if he had left the PGA Tour it would have caused significant damage to the tour apparently this was the decision of his whole future yes we understand that golfers play because of their passion
For the game but let’s be honest for a second and agree that it’s not just the pass because they also have families to feed so yeah the decision he made his whole future depended on it according to the no laying up Podcast whoever they asked about matsuyama’s possible decision
Everyone had the same answer everyone from the players to the agents confirmed that Matsuyama wouldn’t leave the PGA so yeah everyone saw something in him and heard something from him to be so sure about it not just that he wasn’t even present at the meeting if you’re a golf
Fan you must have also heard of the the much talked about meeting recently it was headed by none other than Tiger Woods and surprisingly enough Matsuyama wasn’t present there during the meeting Rory and woods presented the golfers with some amazingly dramatic proposals we’ve talked about it before but for
Those who don’t know the PGA has come up with several new tournaments with a $20 million purse each this makes it even more surprising for the golfer to make such a solid decision because apparently when he confirmed that he’d be staying with the PGA Tour he didn’t know about
This tour within the tour thing and before this everyone believed that the offer was $400 million when rumors started spreading about Matsuyama joining the livv golf many sources claimed that the Saudi funded series had offered the golfer $400 million the eight-time PGA winner and livv were a
Hot topic for quite a while because everyone was looking forward to him ditching the PGA Tour and getting the money he deserved at the time he ranked 25th at owgr and his earnings were only over $40 million a talented golfer like him earning only that much was enough of
A reason for us to believe that he’d be saying his goodbyes to the PGA soon also he’s one of the most adored athletes in Japan his country loves him and that was one reason why livv had to come up with such a hefty price to get him on their
Side looking at the political relationship between Japan and Saudi Arabia it was possible for him to go for it because apparently the two countries share outstanding bonds but we think all of that is restricted to the political stuff only and Matsuyama would have lost an enormous
Fan base and even the love from his homeand if he had joined hands with livv after all Saudi Arabia has done enough to make people go against it also good for the PGA Tour because they can’t afford to lose Matsuyama we’re saying this today and we’ll repeat it whenever
You ask us if Matsuyama is important to the PGA he’s more important to the tour than the world’s number one golfer and we’ll tell you why back in 2013 when he turned professional he was the only one representing Japan on the International Golf Scene this made him a big star and
Got him the support of Japanese fans too which just so you know consists of a lot of people after all golf is one favorite sport in that country wait that wasn’t all he then continued to the PGA Tour a total of eight times in just 10 years
Not just that he even won the Zozo Championship earlier this season which was a major victory for him because he won right in front of his home crowd also if you remember in 2021 he became the first Japanese golfer to win a major at the Masters in short throughout his
Career he has held a strong position on the Japanese golf front and is looked upon as an ideal by young Japanese golfers that’s not all the PGA Tour acquired some of the most talented golfers because of matsuyama’s inspirational work because he was the one to become amazingly famous in Japan
Many newcomers put their foot forward on the PGA tour K Nakajima and takumi Kanaya are two of such golfers both of them are winners of the asia-pacific amateur and were also competing alongside their Idol at the Masters apparently these two were greatly influenced by their senior’s golf career
And that’s why they chose to join the PGA now if we look at the influence he creates we can understand why the PGA Tour needs to hold on to him but livv at the same time also wants to have a golfer who’s got such a massive impact
On a specific audience if Matsuyama had decided to leave the PGA Tour we can bet that the other Japanese golfers would have also gone for the livv golf series which would have been extremely harmful to the tour not just that the golfer might have also influenced the Japanese government into investing in golf
Courses for the new generation because a few years back there were barely any golf courses available for the golfers to play in practice but as of 2021 Japan has a total of 2,151 courses and over 4,000 practice ice facilities in short Matsuyama isn’t just another golfer but an important
Personality too and if he leaves the PGA we think the tour would lose the whole Japanese golf front his International recognition is what’s attracting Greg Norman so much it’s not always about the ranking sometimes it’s more about the impact you create next in other related news livv will release the names of
Seven new golfers even though livv failed to lure Matsuyama the controversial golf Series has succeeded in getting seven more golfers on its side while many were naming Matsuyama as one of these we wonder who the seventh player would be now after the confirmation that the Japanese golfer isn’t even thinking of joining livv
Apparently the most important one to join this new league is Cameron Smith Who currently stands at world number two ranking another name we keep hearing is Mark lman in contrast the rest of the golfers are still unknown but of course fans have made their assumptions so who
Are the other five golfers many of the PGA Tour golfers are associated with the Saudi funded golf series but fans have their eyes set on Cameron Smith Mark lman and five other golfers as per the rumors the golfers who will be joining livv golf next week include Harold Varner III Cameron young Cameron
Tringale anir ban Lahiri and Wen nyman fans are convinced that these golfers will definitely be on the list and we somewhat also believe these rumors because recently livv accidentally did leak the names before anyone else could talk about being your own enemy and here’s how they might have revealed the
Names livv golf’s official Twitter account made a mistake while tweeting a few days back apparently they had posted some ticket discount codes there but they probably forgot that they were supposed to hide the names of the golfers for another week well the names were the discount codes so yeah fans
Were bound to pick the details up it only took them to fill Twitter with the names of all seven golfers but then some statements about the names of some golfers came out apparently livv mistakenly posted the codes even though some of the golfers who have their names
On there hadn’t even decided to accept lv’s offer yet one such player was Harold Varner III who apparently hadn’t given any answer to livv golf but his name was released as one of the members to play in the next livv season this means we can’t be totally certain about
Some of the golfers but we’re sure that Smith and lman are definitely on the list and with this it’s time to wrap this video up fam what are your thoughts about this video do let us know in the comments below also don’t forget to like this video And subscribe to our Channel
