The LIV lads wouldn’t get out of bed for $18m
Cam Smith and Joaquin Niemann will be announced as the latest players to join the party.
Imagine waking up seething on this beautiful morning because Rory won.
I see Rory’s win yesterday was worth three times Nicholas life time earnings.
Just the $5.75m for Scottie to cry into his pillow with

Five 150/1+ winners this season is fair clipping
You’d wonder how much of that $18m finds it’s way into Rory’s pocket.
Would he trouser 6-8m of it or is it gobbled up in taxes. P’raps Rory might heed some friendly advice from the Lord of the Manor who’d know a thing or two about minding mice at a crossroads.

At the federal level, prize money earned is treated like taxable income, meaning pro golfers are getting taxed at the normal income rates for their earnings, not against different rates like for capital gains. This is why many players have set up limited liability corporations for their earnings to they can benefit from the passthrough deductions of 20 percent for net income earned, for money paid through these limited liability partnerships, sole proprietorships, and other pass-through businesses.
There’s state taxes as well depending on where the tournament was played. “Death and taxes”…
No tax and he doesn’t get it till he’s 45 or something

If you’re going down that road, you’d be giving it to to Cam Young
I’m surprised HV3 is gone, thought he had a talk with Michael Jordan and he convinced him to stay where he was
He was nearly ten years a pro before he got a tour win - I suppose he’s thinking he’s probably had a long enough climb, may get paid while it’s there

Cam getting $100 million
Hard to refuse that when they’ll probably all merge again in 5 years.
Good luck to him
Patty Reed burning it up at Wentworth - that would be a sour trophy presentation
It would be absolutely brilliant. And hilarious.
Alas it won’t happen

LIV lads are all over indexing on the leaderboard. Wonder are they on an extra Saudi incentive to do well here…
