Amid a threat from the proposed Super Golf League, the PGA Tour altered its financial structure to reward its stars.
Phil Mickelson, who won last year's PGA Championship, is taking some time away from golf.
That discontent appeared to fuel momentum, at least briefly, for the SGL. Backed by Saudi Arabian money and fronted by golf legends with polarizing histories among their peers, the SGL threatened to poach some of the Tour’s top players not necessarily with greater financial rewards but guaranteed compensation via smaller fields.
It increased purses by $60 million, many of those bumps going to invitational tournaments populated by elite players. It injected an additional $20 million into FedEx Cup bonuses and another $20 million into a bonus pool, showering top-performing players in golf’s “playoffs” and regular season with extra cash.Multiple new programs have funneled money to players — especially the sport’s stars — in ways that come close to violating the Tour’s focus on rewarding tournament success.
