The player equity program ?

[Oddsocks]

I had something pop up on a media platform about the $1.5 billon being paid to players who stayed on the PGAT.

So how do we think is will be distributed by the SSG group.

Loyalty through length of service?
Current ranking of fed ex points?

Is this not the one linked to the social media posts/followers? And you have to play a certain amount of prestige events?

That's the Player Impact scheme..those who get most likes get more money...

To be honest the whole thing is , for me, dragging Professional Golf deeper into a mire that will take some recovering from.
It's become all about the money......do these people not have enough already?

Obviously not if LIV is anything to go by!

The 1.5bil is being divided amongst 193 eligible candidates. Will hardly be LIV size pay outs

That’s a lousy 7.7 mill each, hardly worth getting out of bed for. I feel gutted for the poor things.

Seems a bit wrong that most of the money for something that has been built up over the years will go to the current generation. I realise that a few oldies like Woods will benefit, but not so many.
And what about all those to come...
Smells a bit like the blessed privatisations and sell offs of our recent past... and how well has that turned out?

It is only the same as other sports. Should Glen Hoddle get a share of football’s money or Botham get some money from the IPL. Things have changed, and not always for the better.
