Joaquin Niemann and Wyndham Clark earned their exorbitant paydays Sunday, having both played 54 holes of ass-kicking golf last week and respectively lifting Big A-Trophies. They each fired 12-under rounds– Joaquin posted a 59 on Friday and Wyndham shot 60 on Saturday. That’s taking it deep. For their efforts, the Chilean took home $4M and the Oregon Duck/Oklahoma State Cowboy pocketed $3.6M. Joaquin also made $166k because his Torque team finished 3rd in the LIV team competition. Who doesn’t love a little team golf? TRUTH: Most people don’t unless it’s Ryder/Presidents/Solheim Cup season.
Both LIV and the PGA TOUR played no-cut, 54-hole events last week. LIV’ers only intended to play 54 in Mexico. The PGA TOUR planned and expected to play 72, that’s until the weather turned to shi* in Monterey, CA (not to be confused with Monterey, Mex.), and the final round was canceled.
DFL in Mexico paid $50k (Harold Varner). At Pebble, Nick Dunlap, who missed out on winning $1.5k two weeks ago for winning The American Express as an amateur, took home a measly $37k. The lesson learned here: 1/Wait to turn pro before you win a professional golf tournament; 2/LIV’ers make more dough. And always will. No matter how much private equity money the PGA TOUR pulls into their new for-profit enterprise. Because the Saudi’s won’t finish 2nd in the $$$ race. Not while the oil keeps flowing and the sports-washing keeps washing.
