On Sunday, August 27, 2023, the boys who play on LIV were actually jealous of the boys who play on the PGA Tour. Why you ask? Because the PGA Tour handed out Richy Rich money to the 30 players who had just finished up at the Tour Championship.
For the 2nd week in a row, Viktor Hovland won on Tour. And Taylor Moore finished DFL. Viktor pocketed $18M and two shiny trophies. Taylor, $500k and a date with his swing coach.
Thirteen players made $990k or more.
Xander left the grounds wanting more and still left with $6.5M greenbacks.
Hey parents out there: it’s never too late. Put your kids into golf lessons and camps and shower them with encouragement. You never know. Maybe your son or daughter will grow up to be the next Viktor or Megan. (Megan Khang won Sunday on the LPGA Tour.)
Wow. What a game!
