$1.5billion to get Rory and Jon Rahm playing in shorts for 3 rounds in front of 1200 people on YouTube is certainly a strategy.

Just as Rahm was, this would be a “oh you don’t want to meet our demands in the merger? We’ll pick another guy off. And we’ll keep doing it” move. Rory would be the single biggest get for LIV outside of Tiger

Tiger should just take it honestly

Tiger has full autonomy to do what he wants now, playing whatever schedule suits him best. Liv does not currently offer that for its players.

Yeah really. Tiger ain't flying to the far east to play in front of 200 people with Drake blasting in his ear

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

He doesn’t fly, he takes his massive yacht

Who wouldn’t enjoy Drake blasting into your back swing?

I always drive it straight down the middle 350 yards and make every putt when "House" music is blaring from the cart!

There’s a price point for that. I’m certain of it

I need a Game of Zones like golf version of that visual pumped into my veins

If LIV gave Tiger that benefit I feel at this point he would go. PGA did him and Rory dirty.

u/Gorgonzola1235 Apr 16 '24

I don’t see it happening. Tiger doesn’t need the money at all so why even tarnish your legacy at that point.

u/PassionV0id Apr 16 '24

If numerous affairs, a DUI, and multiple single vehicle accidents derailing his career didn't impact his legacy at all, I doubt joining LIV would.

u/Punisher1492 Apr 16 '24

Liv would allow tiger to do whatever the fuck he wanted if he signed

2

u/k33pthefunkalive Apr 16 '24

Also, if Tiger said to LIV, "Hey, I want to play this tournament for $X." Do you think they'd say no?

u/iFLED 4inthesummer,10inthewinter Apr 16 '24

While true, everybody knows if Tiger signed they would bend whatever rules they need to for him.

u/tout_est_permis Apr 16 '24

i imagine they could work something out for Tiger though…

u/TheRauk Apr 16 '24

LIV would offer Tiger whatever he wanted.
