Rory smacks Norman down

6. Jack Nicklaus also turned the Saudi millions down.

I heard the offer to Tiger was nearly a billion.

The one thing the PGA tour can take from the Bone Saw/LIV tour is ditching the cut and paying all players at least something for showing up and playing. Now players who don't make the cut after the first two days of a tournament don't get a cent. They go home or to the next event with empty pockets. On the Bone Saw tour the player coming in last gets 120k.

If the PGA tour had done that long ago Mickelson and Norman probably wouldn't have a beef with them and the rival tour probably would've have sprang up.

One thing that hasn't come up is that the European Tour, Asian Tour and other tours follow the same model as the PGA but those players weren't beefing. In fact many Euro tour players also play in PGA events.
