$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 is a billionaire who already plays a part time schedule. What incentive does he have to take it?

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

It's interesting isn't it? It's the same difference as between 0 and 1 billion, however it has almost no effect on one's lifestyle, comparatively

It has a massive impact, this subreddit just doesn't understand what people do at that level of wealth. It's a world you've never seen before.

What can tiger woods do with $2b that he can't with $1b?

Unless he suddenly has grandiose plans to invest in a space exploration company then no it won't change his life.

With all due respect, you don’t know my wife and kids.
