and 1/3rd of that is from majors (which he can still play). Even if his level of success is the same for the next seven years (and that’s probably unlikely), he’s probably missing around $20MM in Tour earnings through age 45. Even if the LIV only lasts a year or two, it’s not hard to see DJ (as the clear best player) making $20 million in that time.  Previous MessageHe’ll get a quick payday but this thing will inevitably fold and he’ll be in a tough spot with a lot of career left. I also expect this to make him less competitive in the majors he participates in. These fields will be garbage. Previous MessageOnly really bummed about DJ. Meh about the amateurs and the euros are mostly has beens. Gooch is a surprise too. This will be interesting to watch how the PGA reacts. Assuming if these guys play in a LIV event they’ll be suspended and then the litigation will begin. |
