PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan described a landscape Sunday of two rival leagues going down different paths, even as the PGA Tour is still trying to formulate plans for a revamped structure in 2024. "We're at a point now where it's product versus product," Monahan said.
He spoke in a formal setting for the first time since the Tour Championship in August, when he outlined a 2023 schedule of elevated tournaments that average $20 million US in prize money.
LIV Golf does not resume until Feb. 23-26 at Mayakoba Golf Resort in Mexico, which had hosted a PGA Tour event every year since 2007.
The prize fund at each LIV event is $25 million, with $5 million directed toward a team competition. Including bonuses, Dustin Johnson made just over $35.6 million in eight events.
