Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm left hundreds of millions of dollars on the table to stick with the PGA.
There are many questions still to be answered about what the PGA Tour’s stunning merger with Saudi-backed LIV Golf will mean, and perhaps most prominent among them is how PGA loyalists like Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm must be feeling after leaving hundreds of millions of dollars on the table.— $200 million for Phil Mickelson, plus $100-some-odd million apiece for Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Cam Smith.
Meanwhile, Woods, McIlroy, Rahm, Scottie Scheffler and others took what were trumpeted as principled stands, leaving hundreds of millions of dollars on the table, only for PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan to turn around and merge forces with LIV in the end.that Woods turned down an offer in the range of $700-800 million to stick with the PGA Tour.
While Majed Al Sorour, the LIV Golf executive and Saudi investment fund governor who becomes chairman of the PGA Tour in the merger, later said that he “never offered [Woods] that money – not even close to that,” one can assume it was nonetheless a considerable chunk of change.Last November, Woods excoriated Norman“I think Greg has to go, first of all,” Woods said ahead of the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. “Then we can talk, we can all talk freely.
“Greg’s got to leave and then we can eventually, hopefully, have a stay between the two lawsuits and figure something out. But why would you change anything if you’ve got a lawsuit against you? They sued us first.”
