LIV Golf contract clause ‘leaked’ with Henrik Stenson to have Ryder Cup captaincy stripped | Golf | Sport
DP World Tour CEO Keith Pelley is said to have personally inserted the special clause in Stenson’s contract in response to the speculation over his interest in joining LIV Golf. The 2016 Open champion has reportedly had a similar offer to that of Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter to join LIV at a cost of around $30million.
Phil Mickelson is said to be the biggest earner through LIV Golf, signing a contract reportedly in the region of an eye-watering sum worth $200m. Branden Grace won LIV Golf’s second event at the start of the month in Portland, taking home $4m for his triumph.
Even finishing last in the 48-man field provides financial riches with Jediah Morgan, who ended the three-day event at 21-over par, taking home $120,000. The next LIV Golf Invitational Series takes place in Bedminster at the end of the month.
