garyt1957 I have enough money and more won't make my life better"?

That's just not true. For those that already have it.

I always wondered how many centuries a family could subsist on a few million dollars, invested properly, from people like these golfers.
Today, it seems more like how many decades. Because they seem to spend most of it in their immediate lifetime.

    garyt1957 What a hypocrite. What happened to " I have enough money and more won't make my life better"?

    It probably still rings true, to a degree.
    He has openly bitched, and quite often, about how much he is forced to play, so my guess is this is a bigger factor, in his case.

      Then don't say it. I have no problem with guy's taking the money just be consistent. Phil really got a bad deal by being the first.

        Yeah $200 mil for being pretty much past his prime, got to feel bad for the guy!😉

          darpar doesn't matter about his abilities. People were destroying him. I'd bet Rahm probably said something derogatory about him back then if you were to go check. He was the sacrificial lamb. Now it's gotten easier

            garyt1957 He was the sacrificial lamb.

            I think you read the wrong chapter of 'the book'......he was he Chosen One'!!

            Absolutely never a sacrifice on his part nor for him/his family.

              I haven’t checked myself, but I doubt he said anything bad. Phil’s brother Tim coached Rahm in college and from what I’ve read they’re good friends.

              Edit: “Rahm won 11 tournaments for ASU. When he turned pro, Tim Mickelson left his coaching position to become Rahm's agent. If that sounds like a familiar story, it's because Mickelson's brother Phil, the 42-time winner and World Golf Hall of Fame member, played at ASU for Steve Loy, who left the school to become his agent.”

              You don't think the abuse he took had any effect on him and his family?

                garyt1957 I laugh at that question for a couple reasons.....his wife/family adore him and believe in him +100%. And as he has shown since entering the PGA Tour, he absolutely thrives on abuse!!

                So, my answer is a resounding...NO.

                I sure hope they can leverage a TV contract in the U.S. I think it’s kind of cool to watch with everyone in the same conditions and with the same number of holes played.

                My wife and I will watch golf from Australia and South Africa where we only recognize a handful of names. So I reckon we can watch any lineup that remains on the PGA Tour.

                  Love watching the animals in the nature preserve next door.
