Rory McIlroy (NORTHERN IRELAND) will receive a $15 million (KRW 195 million) bonus for leading the U.S. Professional Golf (PGA) Tour in Player Influence Points (PIP) this season, the U.K.’s Telegraph Sport reported on Thursday.It’s not an official announcement, but PGA Tour brass sent out a memo to players listing the top 20 players in PIP and the amount of bonus money they’ll receive, the publication explained.The top 20 players on the PIP will split the $100 million prize money according to their ranking.

Tiger Woods (USA) finished second and will receive $12 million (15.6 billion won), followed by Yon Ram (Spain) in third place. The PIP is not based on an athlete’s performance, but rather on their Google search volume, global media exposure, social media mentions, broadcast exposure, and familiarity and likability with the athlete.

It was created in 2021 as a way to reward star athletes who are popular with the public, in response to LIV Golf, which was funded by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund (PIF).Woods topped both the first and second editions.When the news broke, Nate Lashley (USA) said, “There are 200 players on the PGA Tour, and they spent $100 million on 20. It’s ridiculous,” and “No golf fan knows what PIP is. I’d love to hear from golf fans if they 카지노사이트 think this is a good use of $100 million.”
