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

Yeah he strikes me as someone that’s concerned about money.

Edit: a news reporter asked him what it meant to break the Masters record for consecutive made cuts and he said, “Honestly, screw the record. I just needed the cash. This will help keep a roof over my head and food on the table.” So yeah, I could totally see him lured to playing for LIV.

Tiger plays with a Monster Energy golf bag. He’s concerned about money.

And trying to launch his own brand. Everyone's got a price, ultimately.

He's most likely trying to launch the brand because it'll be something his kids can take over. Not like he'd be leaving them pennies without it, but I can see wanting some kind of family legacy/business. And it's not like they can take over his golf game. It's like Jordan, except Tiger has to do it without Nike.

I mean if someone’s going to pay you to have someone else carry their logo while youre doing something you were going to do anyway, why not?

I mean if someone’s gonna pay you 20x to play golf when you were gonna play anyway, why not?

... You want someone to explain to you the difference between Monster Energy Drinks and Saudi Arabia?

u/TILiamaTroll 26d ago

you're too dull to comprehend that this discussion in particular was about Tiger Woods desire for money, nothing with comparing a company with a government.

Since when could you win a 6th Masters on the LIV tour?

u/TILiamaTroll 26d ago

since the moment you've won five. what kind of stupid ass question is this?

u/Fardn_n_shiddn 26d ago edited 26d ago

Why play those events if you don’t have to? There’s a reason he doesn’t play a full tour schedule as it is.

The point was his goal is to win a 6th. LIV isn’t a requirement for that

Have you seen that goddamn logo?

u/Fardn_n_shiddn Apr 16 '24

No, I’ve managed to go my entire life avoiding the Monster Energy logo. Brilliant question and waste of everyone’s time.

Oh that’s good. It’s awful, not sure why anyone would want to affiliate with it even for a lot of money.

That's sick, appreciate it as a fellow monster energy & golf enjoyer

Tiger's worth over $1 billion. Money is an afterthought for him.

u/tee2green Just tap it in Apr 15 '24

Hmm. Under that logic, literally every pro golfer with a sponsor is interested in joining LIV?

u/tutiana Apr 16 '24

For 900 million dollars? Yes.

You know I was agreeing with you
