The name of the league comes from the roman numeral for 54, which is the amount of holes they&#8217;ll be playing during LIV tournaments. The CEO of LIV is Hall of Famer and two-time major champion Greg Norman, who is also the creator of your dad&#8217;s favorite polo shirt. In typical Saudi fashion, they are throwing money at everyone and everything. Phil Mickelson was the first major golfer to join, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/06\/06\/phil-mickelsons-deal-with-saudi-backed-liv-is-around-200-million\/\">reportedly being offered around $200 million<\/a>.

They execute people over there for being gay. Knowing all of this, why would I even consider it? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates. They\u2019ve been able to get by with manipulative, coercive, strong-arm tactics because we, the players, had no recourse. As nice a guy as [PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan] comes across as, unless you have leverage, he won\u2019t do what\u2019s right. And the Saudi money has finally given us that leverage. I\u2019m not sure I even want [the SGL] to succeed, but just the idea of it is allowing us to get things done with the [PGA] Tour.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tiger Woods <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/golf\/news\/greg-norman-claims-tiger-woods-turned-down-mind-blowingly-enormous-high-nine-digit-liv-golf-deal\/\">was offered &#8220;a mind blowingly enormous high nine figures&#8221; to play in the league<\/a>, but turned it down.
