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

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. 🤣

    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.

              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.

                  The way it's written it's net losses. You can't write off losses if you have wins that outpace that. At least not legally. The IRS will make you pay taxes on any big wins even if you end up a loser at the end of the year if you can't itemize. Bastards

                    Hard to fathom this. His ego has got the best of him. Sad situation. Hopefully in time he can rehabilitate his image. Right now it’s as low as it can be.

                    If Phil plays in the LIV tournament in London, then all bets are off and his reputation is ruined forever. Right now he and Greg Norman are on the wrong side of public opinion.

                    Greg Norman saying (Sports Illustrated) in response to murdering a Washington Post reporter that (paraphrasing) ‘people make mistakes’ is either willful ignorance or intentionally disingenuous.

                    Both of which are not good at all.
