There were like seven guys last week from TPC [Sawgrass] that made more money than our purses.\u201d<\/p>\n With the emergence of LIV, followers have been turned off by the sum of money being infused into the game.<\/p>\n So when a participant who has made greater than $22 million<\/a> to play golf throughout his profession cries for extra, protected to say it didn\u2019t go over properly with followers.<\/p>\n That would not seem to be a lot for a champion tbh<\/p>\n \u2014 orbem tsurt (@dvk415) March 28, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n That\u2019s why YouTubers are rising within the golf content material, it\u2019s enjoyable, relaxed they usually aren\u2019t whining about not making extra money.

That means there may be far much less advert income, and fewer cash to be distributed to gamers. It\u2019s fairly easy actually.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear whether or not DiMarco was critical concerning the LIV facet. He does nevertheless sound as if he’s bitter concerning the purse sizes on the senior circuit. But that simply comes throughout grasping and tone deaf.<\/p>\n Golf influencer Paige Spiranac threw DiMarco underneath the bus<\/a> on social media, pointing to the identical factor many followers really feel.
