Despite participating in just two events this season, Tiger Woods is expected to amass a fortune because to his unwavering commitment to the PGA Tour.
With $3 billion (£2.4 billion) in funding from the Strategic Sports Group (SSG), the PGA Tour Enterprises fund is attempting to transform its members into partners in an innovative for-profit endeavor. Almost 193 members of the PGA Tour have the chance to earn almost $1.5 billion (£1.2 billion) in stock through this innovative program.
A new investment fund for players on the PGA Tour is anticipated to award Woods the highest grant valuation in Group 1. The CEO of PGA Tour Enterprises and commissioner of the PGA Tour, Jay Monahan, will inform members on Wednesday regarding the value of reward grants for each devoted player who passed on LIV Golf.
Players need a high number of Career Points, which indicate their performance on the PGA Tour, in order to be placed in Group 1. Each year they have been on the tour, the number of times they have advanced to the Tour Championship, and the number of official Tour victories they have accrued are all worth points. In fact, they receive bonus points for winning major league baseball or the Players Championship.
With a formidable 528 Career Point total, Woods is expected to take home a sizable portion of the $750 million (£602 million) split among the 36 players in Group 1. Woods is a key figure in guiding the PGA Tour’s future and business endeavors as one of the six player directors assigned to the PGA Tour Enterprises board.
With 199 points, Rory McIlroy has accumulated. Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth have both accrued about 100 points. Despite the fact that all four players are expected to be in Group 1 and earn significant awards, Woods is most likely to receive the highest payout due to his disparity in Career Points from McIlroy, who comes in second.
During the Genesis Invitational’s second round, Tiger Woods watches
While the precise amount of the cash set aside for Woods is yet unknown, participants may stand to make anywhere from tens of millions to zero. Although the Tour plans to keep the recipients’ identities private, Woods is anticipated to be a member of the elite club.
This season, Woods has taken part in two PGA events: the Masters and the Genesis Invitational. After finishing the first round with a score of 72, he was forced to withdraw from The Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club because of back spasms and flu-like symptoms. After rounds of 72 and 24, he finished the course with a total score of 96 [+2].
Woods shot 73, 72, 82, and 77 in the Masters, totaling 304 shots [+16] for the competition. He placed 60th and received $44,400 in spite of his efforts.
