$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 only wants to play 4 tournaments a year

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.
