The best are playing for buckets of gold.
Finau won $1.4M in Mexico. (PGA)
Gooch won $4+M in Singapore.(LIV)
Green won $450k in LA. (LPGA)
Professional golf is big business, and the best-of-the-best are raking in millions on and off the course.
We’d love to see the ladies playing for more money. But TV and in-person viewership drives up purses and the LPGA needs to evolve to make stars out of its players. How about a Netflix or Prime series? What likely will come before a multi-episode BTS show will be an infusion of $$$ from the Saudis. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out over the next 12-18 mos.
