As part of PGA Tour Enterprises reportedly rewarding its golfers for staying loyal to the tour, Tiger Woods and Rory Mcilroy are set for huge pay days.
It turns out that staying loyal to the PGA Tour did, in fact, pay off for golf's two biggest stars. Tiger Woods and Rory Mcilroy will reportedly each receive a hefty payday after sticking with the Tour, rather than defecting to LIV. The 15-time major champion will receive $100 million, while McIlroy will bring in $50 million, via the newly-created for-profit PGA Tour Enterprises.
The Telegraph reported that around $750 million of equity will be divvied up between 36 'superstars' who are the 'most deserving.' Another $250 million will be split up between roughly 160 other golfers. The money is not being given in a lump sum, the outlet states. 'After four years, 50% of their equity will be vested, with another 25% two years later and the remaining amount two years after that,' The Telegraph reported.
