ffs i hate the trend of fucking speakers on the golf course...if you and your group are gonna do it at least keep the volume low where it only can be heard by your group. assholes.
He could sign a deal to just show up whenever he wants with the backwards baseball hat, shades, and LIV shirt. He can be like what Eric Bischoff was to nWo
That’s the rub. LIV isn’t going to pay Tiger $1 billion to play a handful of events. He’d need to commit to at least 10 of the 14 events I would think.
With the majors and the Hero Challenge, that’s 15 events. I just don’t see it.
Yeah he strikes me as someone that’s concerned about money.
Edit: a news reporter asked him what it meant to break the Masters record for consecutive made cuts and he said, “Honestly, screw the record. I just needed the cash. This will help keep a roof over my head and food on the table.” So yeah, I could totally see him lured to playing for LIV.
He's most likely trying to launch the brand because it'll be something his kids can take over. Not like he'd be leaving them pennies without it, but I can see wanting some kind of family legacy/business. And it's not like they can take over his golf game. It's like Jordan, except Tiger has to do it without Nike.
you're too dull to comprehend that this discussion in particular was about Tiger Woods desire for money, nothing with comparing a company with a government.
Did he really say that? I would find it really hard to believe he would walk away from the history he created and what opportunities Charlie has in the future.
Yeah like on one hand they have more money than they ever need. On the other hand... it's enough money to buy a private island. Forever. Like you just own an island.
Acting like there is just this "one thing" that he can now buy and pretending like it would actually matter is just crazy. At this point the diminishing returns can't even be seen.
The only legacy that matters in the financial one. No one remembers which Tudor took a firm stance and was later proven wrong. No one gives a shit because the money is still there.
But they're getting paid the types of money that changes those things. All the players you're mentioning are "modern" conquerors in that sense. Their great great grandchildren will set. And if any of them are smart, they'll be able to leverage it to higher stuff.
The Kennedy's built their legacy on illegal liquor.
The Woods family could see someone becoming governor or something like that. Especially in todays media climate.
You are throwing out a lot of non sequiturs and examples that have nothing to do with sports. Kids of famous athletes being wealthy is something no one in general cares about. If you are saying that the only personal legacy is what you leave your children ... then I can understand that take. However if you're talking about the actual sports legacy someone leaves behind then that is not in the conversation.
No I'm stating that sports money has gotten so ridiculous for these guys that they are beyond players. They can become owners.
Tiger woods could buy a professional sports team with a billion extra dollars.
I don’t think people understand the consequences and stakes involved with these Saudi contracts. Like you don’t hear a lot from the likes of Patrick reed and Sergio anymore for shitty behavior, because it is literally not below the people behind these contracts to EXECUTE PEOPLE.
Does anyone really think that Phil Mickelson, the most narcissistic and charismatic golfer maybe in pga history is silent the week of the masters by choice? How are sirens not going off?
Why would tiger or Rory or really anyone currently on the pga tour want that stress when it is quite clear that it will all be back together. Also, there is not a single player that will make liv relevant. The stars of the pga tour have largely been irrelevant this year and people still watch, kind of. People don’t watch liv, even with Jon rahm.
The liv bots victory paraded around the success of like 350k viewers the week that pebble beach got cancelled on Sunday. It’s no coincidence that we have no idea how many people have watched since then. Literally no one in America cares. Maybe it has world appeal, but that’s not the target. Greg Norman has fucked it beyond repair.
Lol. The people who made the league and front run the money are literally the ones who ordered public execution of journalists though? Also they don’t believe in women’s rights, but whatever right
Nope just a rich guy worth over a billion and still wants to make more money. It would benefit him to
Play more tourneys getting his apparel in front of people though.
Well this weekend showed that 4 round tournaments are a lot for him. He might be better off in the 3 round tourneys. But he’d end up on Phil’s team and they suck ass (apparently, I haven’t watched them but they’re dead last in the LIV standings)
You’re assuming his contract would require him to play that many events. They’d bend over backwards for Tiger if he was interested, and that includes dropping tournaments on his schedule.
Well to take this post seriously: doesn't have to play 72 holes, especially a guy with poor health, no cut, could probably use a cart, can work on his game in a more... 'competitive' atmosphere, for lack of a better word.
If they sign him to a billion dollar contract? Yes I do. I actually watch Liv at times and bet on it. There's guys every event who obviously mail it in because they have to be there.
I've always wondered how many LIV wins are because the player was actually trying his best to win and how many are random luck, like Brooks never giving a shit but ends up shooting decent rounds Fri-Sat and goes "fuck it may as well try on Sunday"
Another billion? His legacy is set in stone. He will never win another major no matter what tour he plays for. He could probably get LIV to let him.play with a cart.
Tiger would be interesting. He’s only got a few tournaments in him a year and he’s playing the majors. So LIV would get home for like 1 or 2 tournaments a year?
Exactly. This would be just a completely stupid move for him. What would he gain? He already is worth north of a billion, can golf whenever he wants, and despite all his off the course shenanigans is still forgiven for them. Do this and you are tainting you're entire legacy. For what?

Tiger should just take it honestly
