The golfing world has now been hearing the term SGL for quite some time now. The word has been hovering over the heads of the PGA Tour as well as over the DP World Tour like a dark cloud.
On the Stripe Show Podcast, Hickok said, “You’re going to see a lot of big names jump over there, I think there’s already been 17 guys that have jumped over and I can’t say who they are but there’s going to be some big names going over there.”
Hickok says “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. Signing bonuses, huge, huge purses, it’s going to be very appealing for some of these guys."
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.
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.
