LIV Tour golf 2023

I'm not so sure we will see many of these guys back on the PGA or SPGA Tour, with all they are
getting paid by the LIV - not counting what they win on that tour.
Why Grind? I mean, I know people do things 'for the love of the game', no matter what that 'game' is,
we are seeing guys make bank and walk away a lot sooner than people think, such as Nico Rosberg,
and some guys in the NFL that made enough to live on and decided the pain isn't worth it.
I think it's really going to explode in the next 3-5 years - guys just deciding they can live fine
on 25 million (they will net 11 million of that) and just walk away....

Tiger has had more operations than he can count - but the competitive spirit of him vs the course drives him,
he certainly doesn't need the $$$ (but he's making a ton from Nike, still....) << he is the exception?

I have no idea why they have a beef with the PGA, maybe for the same reason Jay Leno doesn't like Ferrari?

 

Especially going from the LIV, where you golf 3 days/54 holes, to 4 days/72 holes.
One of the attractions of the LIV is that 'extra day off'.

As it is now you end Sunday and fly/drive home, recover Monday, practice with your coach
on Tuesday, and head to the next tournament on Wednesday, try to play a practice round
on that Wednesday, and play for real on Thursday AM.
Most folks don't even think about that grind...

 

'On Course' looks a little low for Phil.

'Off Course' looks pretty good for Tiger - which is why he won't quit....
But when is enough, 'enough'?

1.1 Billion seems 'enough' to me....?

 

Yeah, I remember years' ago Drew Brees was playing a California team in California,
and he commented the State of Cal sent him a tax bill of nearly $60,000

Too bad a player cannot figure out how to play certain games literally 'for free', just to piss off certain states.
I wonder what happens if you make the trip to CA but never play a down, or if you
are on the team but don't make the trip to CA because you are injured?
I would assume A) has to pay taxes, B) should not - but you never know.

Wouldn't it be funny if you could legally find a way to be paid only for Home games,
and you play every Road game for no pay???

I wonder if you could set up a team as a 'non-profit' - that all 'profits' are set up as
a 'bonus', or fund a zillion charities?

There is a reason you see most every Hospital is a 'non-profit' Corporation - and
build new wings, parking garages, add multi-million dollar machines - but can't seem
to pay Nurses, and continue to cut Dr pay.
I know two Dr's that have left working for a certain organization here because they
wanted to cut their pay 25% - while the CEO got a HUGE bonus....

 

I wonder how long Tiger Woods endorsements will continue to pay up?

I think that may be why he wants to keep coming back: to stay relevant?
I mean, he doesn't resonate in the.... sports community with 'Air Jordans'.
And whats' funny is I have NO idea what shoes LeBron pushes....

Jack Nicklaus makes a bunch from his course design company, Tiger doesn't have that?? (yet)
