LIV Golf and PGA Tour have always been in a position where they have locked horns. The two rival tours have managed to bag all top talent in the golfing world. The only catch is their rivalry, keeping the talent divided.
LIV Golf is a league-based tour where players have contractual obligations. The contract entails lucrative deal amounts that the golfers are given upon signing. This gives them stability in terms of finances which is a major attraction for many golfers. Top names of the PGA Tour like Phil Mickelson, Byron DeChambeau, Sergio Garcia, etc have made the move to LIV. Now, Brooks Koepka has recently opened up about his signing amount.
