Took home 22 million dollars today after winning the LIV golf tourney in Chicago which also made him the 2024 LIV individual champion.
Joaquin Neiman picked up 11 million and Garcia picked up 6 million.
Them boys are raking in the money. That does not count what they have won all year.

today.
LIV is worthless, unless you are one of the players getting absolutely paid. Good for them, but could not care less about LIV.

I check out on golf from now until New Years. Wish they didn’t have “wrap around tournaments” and like you did not know LIV was still going on.

Blood money. I would watch it if the winners would donate half of their winnings to the 9/11 families

I don't think he went to LIV to make over 500 million dollars for respect.

But to have the opportunity for generational wealth so that your children's grand children will never need worry about paying the bills or paying for college or buying a house is huge.
And the respect of the people he has opportunity to gift that most likely means more than of people he will never know.

Rahm made a big deal about not being interested in LIV because golf wasn't about the money for him. Just a few weeks later he joined LIV. All the money in the world can't buy integrity.

That sounds good until someone writes your name on a 500M check. I can’t imagine what it must be like to face that decision but I have to believe it would be quite difficult to give it back.

Point taken, but it doesn’t mean he’s excused from criticism. I’d probably play on the LIV tour naked for half a billion, but it would bring my character into question. 😬
