Next year they will pay out a record $428 million in purses. And this number was influenced to increase heavily from LIV

Without knowing that revenue for next year, if there was no increase that would be 23% of revenue paid to players. So let's argue 20% for easy math
NHL revenue share is 50/50 by comparison
Now without open books it hard to know exactly what the real share for PGA players is, but it sure looks like that are getting the short end of the stick.
The PGA claims it is in line
but lots of players think they are lieing and sitting on piles of cash.
That's the biggest issue - Players don't trust the PGA tour, and why would they. The second they come under 'attack' from a competitor they start finding millions for the players. |
You talk like there is some kind of pga tour bogeyman secretly withdrawing tax free money and putting it under a generic line item. If the tour is holding onto money for future use, nobody is getting rich from that.
These are the people Monahan has to report to:

I would expect the players on the board would see the books and know where the money is going.
I'm just not convinced that it is shady that when a competitor is trying to buy their players out from them to put them out of business, that they would borrow or withdraw money now to try to fight that.
