Throughout the past two years, golf legend Tiger Woods has remained loyal to the PGA Tour even though he likely could have made a lot of money by defecting to join Saudi-backed LIV Golf. But now, it sounds like Woods is being handsomely rewarded for his loyalty to the Tour.
According to a report from The Telegraph, Tiger Woods is set to receive up to $100 million in equity in the newly-created PGA Tour Enterprises as a reward for staying loyal to the PGA Tour over the past two years with superstar Rory McIlroy getting up to $50 million.
“Tiger Woods has received an email from Sawgrass HQ informing him that he will receive up to $100 million in equity for staying loyal to the PGA Tour, with Rory McIlroy benefitting possibly to the tune of $50m for not joining LIV,” The Telegraph reported this week.
This is obviously pretty insane news that Woods is getting so much money as a reward for his loyalty to the PGA Tour over the years, and the golf world had a lot to say about it on social media as a result.
Imagine getting a bag like this on your way out of the sport π€¦π½ββοΈπ https://t.co/K0QSLL0mIm

Woods won’t be the only one rewarded for his loyalty, but he does seem set to get the most.
