Thanks to the Travelers’ designated event status, the A-level field played for a LIV-level purse last week. Keegan’s play earned him a glorious $3.6M bounty. That’s a lot of cash for the New Englander and a super fan of the Red Sox and Patriots. If he wasn’t planning to already, his next visit to Fenway or Gillette will be one traveled to in a leather-seated private jet and be attended in a peel-and-eat shrimp-catered luxury suite. It’s just how you do it when you earn the jackpot of your career!
In comparison, Ruoning Yin on Sunday won the ladies’ PGA Championship, a major, and took home less than Zac Blair and Brian Harman who finished T-2 at the Travelers. I’m sure the 20-year-old Yin complained to no one; but wouldn’t it have been great if the winner on both circuits won an equal amount for lifting their respective B-A’s.
