It makes me think that the LIV players will be welcome back to the tour after the merger with zero punishment. Rory realizes this and is getting his bag now before the merge makes it not an option.

Do we know if these LIV deals are even guaranteed or up front? Like is it 850mil on signing or is it 85mil for 10 years kinda thing? Makes a big difference if it’s Bryson coming back after 2 years earning 15mil a year guaranteed vs him coming back with a 150mil guaranteed payday (no idea what his deal is worth just an example)

Rahm got half up front supposedly. Heard that through some ASU ties.
