In an effort to deter defections to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf League, the PGA Tour will distribute up to $3 billion in bonuses to nearly 200 players. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will receive the largest payouts, with Woods receiving up to $100 million in equity. The bonuses are based on a formula that considers career success and cultural popularity. The PGA Tour will also award $100 million in equity to notable retired players and provide $100 million in recurring grants to future players starting in 2025. The bonuses are a way to express gratitude for the players’ loyalty and to ensure the PGA Tour remains the premier golf league.
