The PGA Tour will have eight Signature events in 2026, which will hand out $20 million in prize money. This is the most lucrative the Tour has been in its entire history. The likes of Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, & Co. are earning more money than ever by winning big events. Looking at how things are progressing, it is only going to grow in the future. However, all this wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for LIV Golf. And Greg Norman is taking all the credit for that.

The former LIV Golf boss shared an interesting post recently discussing his journey with LIV Golf. That included an article in The Wall Street Journal by Andrew Beaton that discussed Norman’s views on how the landscape of golf has changed since 2022.

As mentioned in the article, LIV Golf may not have been as successful as the Great White Shark might have imagined. But it still helped its pros gain huge paydays. Moreover, LIV Golf’s existence increased the purses in PGA Tour events as well. Hence, those who didn’t end up jumping ship also earned big paychecks from their efforts on the Tour and indirectly benefited from Norman’s hard work.

“Just look at the impact that it’s had on the PGA Tour. It’s changed for the betterment of the players,” Norman said. Frankly, it’s hard to disagree with him. The PGA Tour is extremely lucrative and far more exciting for the pros than it ever was before 2022. The existence of LIV Golf increases the options the players have as well. Just look at Scottie Scheffler alone, who has found immense success during this period. He has been able to earn a whopping $195 million through his on-course efforts.
