Phil Mickelson winner in inaugural PIP bonus, Tiger 2nd? (Not official)

ode Maybe that's why Phil is so active on Instagram, it's easy money.

garyt1957 I'm sure he pays some guy to handle his Social Media presence...Maybe I'll apply for that job - probably pays $250K....

I don't know, a lot of Phil's stuff is actual video of Phil, not quotes. I really think Phil enjoys it

mikeintopeka he could simply play for two rounds and have a missed cut

I doubt that he is capable of walking 18 holes yet. He was limping after the first round two weeks using a cart.

I expect Bryson and Brooks to be up there.

DonM yep. Spieth, Fowler, JT, DJ, that leaves a few more

So Lefty wins $8M for tweeting his FIGJAM crap and yapping his snarky commentary on "The Match"? Dude is brilliant.

azgreg Yikes! That's some real money, if true

darpar He must be a pretty shitty gambler to lose $40mil!

Ego versus risk/reward.

Maybe he should just make bets with Daly!

darpar They'd both lose, I'd like to be their bookies

Idiot...That is All...

It is. Appears like this is the Tour's attempt to dissuade players from jumping to the LIV Tour.

And, boost awareness of the Tour and it's 'stock'.

I'd take the vig on Phil's bets.

More likely it's 90% of one and 10% of the other, imho.

darpar

I wonder if that is his NET gambling number or just the losses. He very well could have $50M in winnings to offset. Maybe the $40M is what was reported to the IRS.
