Tension in the golf world escalated after Jon Rahm revealed his decision to join LIV Golf to be part of golf’s evolution. But Fred Couples was having none of it. Couples came forward to ruthlessly take a dig at the Saudi-backed league and its players, who claim to have jumped to the backway league for ‘legacy,’ but according to him, the defection was all about money. But with a recent revelation on the internet, the tables have somewhat turned, and not in the 64-year-old’s favor.

Fred Couples’s remarks about LIV Golf money become void

The spotlight has now turned to the Couples’s appearance fees, which is in stark contrast to his verbal stance. It seems that he charges nominal fees for appearing at events. People are analyzing the irony of the couple’s advocating a selfless approach while reportedly charging a premium for his presence.

Securing Fred Couples for an event isn’t a fixed deal. According to the tweet shared by Golf Worldwide, the 1992 Masters winner charges somewhere between $75,000 and $150,000 to attend an event. However, the booking price mentioned in the post is not fixed and is bound to fluctuate depending on various factors.

If the golf veteran has been hitting headlines lately, the cost could swing more. Also, the appearance fee mentioned does not involve the golfer’s speech, and as per the reports, getting him to speak during his appearance would cost extra. In addition to the spike in appearance fees, factors such as popularity, career stage, and how he is in demand could also cause a hike in his speaking price. This huge revelation has become somewhat of a slap in the veteran’s face after his harsh money remarks on LIV Golf.

Just a day ago, the 64-year-old blasted LIV Golf on a podcast. The former world number one expressed his disbelief at LIV golfers’ claims of LIV being a good product and commented about how money is fogging the golfers’ views. He said, “I want them to go for free.. go on CNN and every TV show and say why they’re going because it’s that good. $100M doesn’t get it, $200M doesn’t get it, $300M doesn’t get it. But for $400 million, it’s a great product, it’s a great show. MY A**”
