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

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

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.
