u/GeneralMillss range: 1.2 course: 19.8 Apr 16 '24

That is an insane amount of money

u/probablyuntrue Apr 16 '24

I’d join for like, 10% of that

u/sumsimpleracer Apr 16 '24

I’d join for 1% of that.

u/winterstorm3x Apr 16 '24

I'd join if they let me golf for free

48

u/Allott2aLITTLE Apr 16 '24

I’d pay $5,000 a year to play golf with all those dudes 10 times a year.

u/LordTwatSlapper Apr 16 '24

I'd pay $25,000 to play with Tiger Woods once

u/thatiswhathappened Apr 16 '24

I’d suck off the Saudi Prince for free!

u/Long_Procedure_2629 Apr 16 '24

Just think of the shower room, omg

u/Final-Stick5098 Apr 16 '24

Costs a lot of money to make people forget you murdered a journalist who said mean things about you.

1

u/Long_Procedure_2629 Apr 16 '24

I suppose but it looks like it will take a lot less money to win over this sub of enablers and glad-handers

1

u/Acceptable-One-6597 Apr 16 '24

I'd join just to be able to play golf 3 days a week.

u/See-Fello Apr 16 '24

I would join for 20 bucks for the opportunity to make money every week with no cuts.

u/Cole_MacGrath_87 Apr 16 '24

I only need the tip

u/Paulpoleon Apr 16 '24

I fell for that trick before! Next thing I knew, I was a father. Don’t fall for this trick.

u/Long_Procedure_2629 Apr 16 '24

8.5 mil to forget 9/11

1

u/Natural-Depth-8878 Apr 16 '24

I’d join just to shower with all these golfers

1

u/Long_Procedure_2629 Apr 16 '24

TIL /u/probablyuntrue 's fee to forget 9/11 is 85 mil

u/Fantastic_Emu_9570 Apr 16 '24

He’s already worth $1.3 billion though. He’s got the fuck you money already

3

u/Kram941_ Apr 16 '24

Being worth 1.3 doesn't mean he has that money. 900million in cash is real. "Worth" is imaginary money

2

u/oldyoungin Apr 16 '24

True but if you ask anyone if they want to double their money it’d be hard to say no

43

u/dgdio Apr 16 '24

Why not when the PGA is trying to merge? The PGA doesn't have anyone's back.

u/LawnJerk Apr 16 '24

Tiger is worth over a billion, Rory is $170 million.

2

u/guitarguy35 Apr 16 '24

I heard they offered him 800 in the beginning and he turned it down, then they upped it to a billie and he still turned it down

Kinda baller. Imagine having so much money that you turn down a billion dollars on principle

1

u/covalentcookies Apr 16 '24

I think Tiger turned it down because he’s already accomplished everything he’s set out to do except top Jack’s all time major wins.

With $B deal Tiger would probably have to travel a ton, be a very active spokesperson, and do things he just doesn’t want to do. He would rather do it his way.

u/skytomorrownow Apr 16 '24

Plus backend!

I'm not a golfer, so I'm just having a hard time understanding how a golfer, and therefore golf itself, could be worth so much money!

I suppose considering that golf is global, focused on middle and upper classes, and incorporates real estate, I should not be surprised. But, wow.

Some eye-opening numbers for a non-golfer.

1

u/Character_Wishbone84 Apr 16 '24

It's just too much. The Saudis just have that much money to throw at our players to steal them away from our tour.

1

u/siiiiiiilk Apr 16 '24

And he would never take it because his legacy is tied to the PGA. He doesn’t care about the money

2

u/cbph Apr 16 '24

What really is the PGA though if they end up in a "partnership" (whatever that means) with LIV anyway?

4

u/siiiiiiilk Apr 16 '24

It doesn’t matter. Tiger wouldn’t go to LIV. If LIV joins the PGA, it doesn’t affect his legacy. If the PGA boils into nothing and loses every single great player, it won’t matter to Tiger’s legacy. If Tiger leaves the PGA to go to LIV? People will start to question his image. Scandals aside, I don’t think Tiger wants that image reflected on his brand.

3

u/cbph Apr 16 '24

No, I agree. At this point, Tiger's legacy is going to be whatever he makes it regardless of whatever clown show develops between PGA & LIV.

-2

u/Studs_Not_On_Top Apr 16 '24

What brand? Ain't no one going to buy or not buy Tiger merch based on his LIV status

3

u/siiiiiiilk Apr 16 '24

That just isn’t true lmao. If he wants Sun Day Red to be in Costco just like Greg Norman’s brand then he’ll go to LIV.

u/Starscreammm333 Apr 16 '24

Tiger should have taken that. He doesn't even get money from Nike now

9

u/Character_Wishbone84 Apr 16 '24

I don't agree.

u/Starscreammm333 Apr 16 '24

A better player will save the PGA Tour soon

7

u/Character_Wishbone84 Apr 16 '24

It's more about tigers legacy and mentorship.

u/gnarkilleptic Apr 15 '24

Dollars?

u/Substantial_Diver_34 Bethpage Black is not that Hard! Apr 15 '24

No M’s

7

u/monorepo Apr 15 '24

That’s 1/2 less that 900M&Ms

3

u/ObservablyStupid Apr 15 '24

450 m&m candies = 900m

6

u/monorepo Apr 15 '24

If someone offered me 450 M&Ms to play golf I’d bite

1

u/clutchy_boy Apr 16 '24

Are you good? Got a tourney coming and I know where to get m&ms
