It’s why Koepka one week was trying to rally PGA Tour loyalists to come up with a strong message and the next week was the latest addition to LIV Golf. The signing fees for the biggest names represent generational wealth, and it proved to be more valuable than their word. He also never entertained a $3 million appearance fee for the Saudi International when it was part of the European tour schedule three years ago. The difference is that Woods turned it down. There have been unconfirmed reports of Phil Mickelson getting $200 million, Johnson receiving $150,000 and others like Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau also in the nine-figure range.Īll of those figures are trumped by what Greg Norman said was “somewhere in that neighborhood” of $700 million to $800 million offered to Tiger Woods. The signing bonus is an attention-getter. Amateur champion James Piot - and who probably never will. This is the real payoff for players who have defected from the PGA Tour, and especially those who have not made it to the big leagues - such as the younger brother of Brooks Koepka (Chase) and U.S.
