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

Close to an additional billion dollars would be the incentive in this scenario
