“Look, I mean from what I’ve heard the money’s very, very appealing. You’re only gonna have 12-14 events, those events are gonna have purses, you’re not going to have to deal with missing a cut anymore, there’s only going to be 40 players. And 10 of those 14 events will be in the States. Signing bonuses, huge, huge purses, it’s going to be very appealing for some of these guys. Yeah you’ll see some big names for sure.” (h/t Golf Monthly)

In the recent past, various speculations have come forward regarding offers made to top PGA Tour professionals. Bryson DeChambeau was reportedly offered $135 million to become the face of the Saudi-backed Super Golf League. However, the American denied this claim.
The PGA Tour has detailed the consequences of playing on a rival tour, in this case- the Saudi-backed Super Golf League. Professionals who will be a part of the SGL will serve an immediate suspension and be expelled from the PGA Tour. As a result, it will be a bold move to leave the prestigious PGA Tour.
