PGA Tour commissioner announces higher prize money at some events in response to LIV Golf series
CNN
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan told reporters Wednesday prize money at eight regular season tournaments will be increased, an announcement that comes on the heels of several big-name golfers leaving the tour for the controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series.
"Let me be clear, I am not naïve. If this is an arms race and if the only weapons here are dollar bills, the PGA Tour can't compete," Monahan said at a news conference. "The PGA Tour, an American institution, can't compete with a foreign monarchy that is spending billions of dollars in an attempt to buy the game of golf."
During the commissioner's news conference, the LIV Golf series announced former world No. 1 Brooks Koepka would be joining the venture.
