The Firepit Collective
is reporting the Tour has put together a plan in which they could hold 18
no-cut tournament
business s, involving 60 players, and crucially the scope to compete
for $20million purses.
For context, bitter
rivals LIV Golf currently have $25m purses.
The Tour isn’t
reportedly stopping there and has conceived other ways it can potentially keep
pace with the Saudi breakaway league.

the change.

This would reportedly
result in a $20-50m annual loss but privatization would allow a greater
financial canvas in order to commensurately pay their players.
Despite the PGA’s

joining LIV.
The meeting at Hotel
du Pont was reportedly centered around providing solutions for retaining the
Tour’s elite players while also cementing his status as a Tour
figurehead.
