Whatever happens, LIV Golf has certainly put a scare into the PGA Tour, which really may have been all that LIV Golf CEO and commissioner Greg Norman wanted to accomplish when he accepted the gig to serve as a thorn in the side of his former employer. ( Forbes estimates LIV will generate less than $75 million in revenue this year compared with $1.5 billion for the PGA Tour.) A good way to lock up those partners would likely be for LIV to shed the association it has with the PIF, at least in the eyes of the public, a nifty trick that may be impossible to pull off.

That mindset is trickling down to its players, who will be awarded a $1 million bonus for winning any of golf’s four major championships - but also may never be allowed to play in them again.

The biggest reason for that, of course, is that the upstart series is backed by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and the $620 billion in assets it possesses, according to Forbes. Now with three events under its belt and 10 of the world’s top 50 players inked to contracts that require them to wear LIV apparel when playing in non-LIV events, instruct them to refrain from giving interviews without approval and insist they must assist in recruiting other players to LIV when requested, LIV Golf has been able to make major waves despite not having a national broadcast deal or big league sponsorship partners. Play began outside London at LIV Golf’s first-ever tournament days later and the rest, as they say, is history. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, officially joined LIV Golf for a deal worth $200 million in early June. Months later, Mickelson emerged from hiding and, along with other big-name golfers like former world No. Many of Mickelson’s sponsors found the association distasteful and dropped him.
