‘But Are They Happy’: Fans Left Pissed After Insane Multi Million Dollar LIV Golf Truth Comes to Light

The year 2023 has been full of ups and downs for the game of golf. It started with a rivalry between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, which was followed by the news of a possible merger. However, as we near its end, a blanket of uncertainty surrounds the rivalry, as there is no news regarding the aforesaid merger.

Amidst all this confusion, one thing that this year also brought to the game was the insane prize purses for certain events. A recent post on Twitter talked about the golfers who have earned more than a total of $10 million this season. Surprisingly, the list was a long one. Fans were quick to react to this news involving some really big bucks and LIV Golf.

Golfers who made bank this season

The year 2023 has been about many things, of which abundance tops the list. This is clear from a recent post on X, which talked about the golfers who earned more than ten million dollars this season. The assessment of the income of these famous names from the world of golf included money earned in all majors, all PGA Tour and LIV events, individual year-end bonuses, which include FedEx and LIV Golf, individual bonuses from team finishes of LIV Golf, and Comcast top 10.

It was also clarified that the post did not include money made on any contract, sponsors, PIP, the European tour, or the Asian tour. After including and excluding the above-mentioned parameters, a list of fifteen players was put forth.

The highest earnings of this season were made by Talor Gooch with a whopping amount of $36.2 million, followed by the Norwegian professional golfer Viktor Hovland who made a total of $33.5 million, and Scottie Scheffler who made a sum of $26 million this season. These three topped the list of highest earners this season. Many other famous golfers made it to the multi-million dollar club, including Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Patrick Cantlay, and more.

In total, this year surely helped many golfers make money. The list of top earners included many of the players who defected to the Saudi-backed league. This is owing to the huge amount of prize money and other resources that LIV Golf offers. Some of the fans were left angry about the same. This is how they reacted.

Fans react to the post

This was surely big news that shocked many of the fans on X. They quickly reacted with a bunch of questions, opinions, and criticisms. It was a diverse comments section, filled with curious questions and critical remarks.

All in all, the golf world was divided between LIV Golf and PGA Tour, even in this money-related update. Here are some of the reviews:

One of the fans was quick to pose a query. They expressed how they thought that the team winnings were something that the players did not get but went to the team instead. Their doubt was quickly resolved.

Another fan pointed out how the list has many players from LIV Golf, hinting at the Saudi-backed league’s financial abundance.

A fan quickly talked about how they were confused when they found out that Harold Varner also made more than $10 million. However, they did mention how they have not been keeping up with LIV Golf.

Whereas, another fan brought to the attention of the golf world how the post did not include the big bucks the LIV Golf defectors earned when they made the switch.

A fan was quick to pose a rather profound question about LIV golfers. Even with all this money, they asked, are the golfers truly happy?

Even though Talor Gooch topped the LIV, as per the current rules, he cannot play in the majors. A fan shed light on the matter and expressed the duality of the situation.

Yet another fan brought to light how generously the LIV golfers are being rewarded and how it is not sustainable. They also sympathized with the PGA Tour.

All in all, it was an interactive and lively comments section. As expected, the post went viral on X in a very short time. What is your take on the matter? Share your views in the comments section below.
