Should LIV Players Give Back Their Money? (The Answer is No)
It appears the world of professional golf will remain divided for the foreseeable future.
The holdup for bringing it back together? The same thing that tore it apart in the first place. As ABBA or The O’Jays would sing: Money, money, money.
Earlier this week, a Bloomberg report said one of the main sticking points in the PGA Tour’s potential partnership with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund—officials from both sides met last week in New York—is that many Tour players want to see LIV golfers incur some sort of financial penalty for their decision to leave.
There is no huge surprise here. LIV players have been basking in the glow of $25-million purses and extravagant signing bonuses. Jon Rahm has won $35 million this season on top of a massive bonus to join the league (rumored to be around $300 million). Joaquin Niemann won more than $24 million—the most he ever earned on Tour was in 2020-2021 when he took home just north of $5 million.
More than 18 LIV players—many of them former middle-of-the-road PGA Tour players—made $5 million or more individually this season in LIV events. That doesn’t include payouts from the team championship which takes place this weekend in Texas. Add in major championship payouts (which isn’t a ton outside of Bryson DeChambeau) and signing bonuses (which is significant depending on the player), and most LIV golfers have clearly made more money relative to their counterparts on Tour.
