“I just love [the team aspect] for me,” Lee said. He could see that my game is so close to being great, but he told me that this environment of LIV Golf is probably better for me than staying out on the PGA Tour. Tucson wasn't in my head, but Mayakoba, I always played well there, Greenbrier, I won there, and then Singapore, Sentosa, which we're going to come back to, I have played well there before.

He then picked up another shot on the third playoff hole to take the win. Lee began the final day four shots off the lead but continued to move forward as many others went backward. In a career that has been plagued by injuries, Lee made 303 starts on the PGA Tour.

Over more than a decade on the PGA Tour, Lee earnt NZ$24.4m. A huge boost at the time but it now pales in comparison to his LIV riches. But if he could make it through 50 LIV tournaments, he would likely be well past his total PGA earnings. His victory in the Greenbrier Classic in West Virgina netted him NZ$1.8 million. Although, that’s not counting his three playoff holes. In 11 seasons on the PGA Tour, Lee was only able to register one tournament win which came way back in 2015.

“I would be in favor of giving more of the purse to the teams, absolutely. At the players meeting at the Ritz, LIV leadership introduced the notion of spreading out the $5 million team purse to the top five finishers, an idea that had been hashed out during a captains-only meeting last month at LIV Mayakoba. Lee (photo at top of story) is a previous winner on the PGA and DP World Tours, to say nothing of the U.S. From a pure business point of view, it would have made more sense from the very beginning to put all of the purse toward the teams [as LIV does now with its season-ending $50 million extravaganza].

Norman is the frontman, but al-Rumayyan, who is often referred to internally at LIV as “The Investor,” is calling the shots. Because of the accelerated timeline on launching the team component, LIV gave each franchise a line of credit to help cover expenses this year, which, in addition to travel costs, includes paying social-media staffers, team managers, branding experts and financial advisers. To get things off the ground in 2022, LIV covered all of the travel expenses for the players and (most of) their entourages, but now those costs have been offloaded to each team. And now there is talk that [LIV leadership] wants to put more of the total purse toward the team component. On Friday in Tucson, the music came courtesy of a DJ with minimal star power. Its executives refer to 2023 as Year 1, and the original plan was to hold 10 tournaments this season and introduce the fully baked-out team component in 2024 as part of a slate of 14 events. LIV could just add $10 million to each purse for the team component and everyone would be happy, right?

You get to play with the best in the world, and there's a team aspect. For a golfer who wondered if he’d ever win again, it was a great way to wash off the last few years of frustration. On his next trip down 18, his approach landed pin-high but to the right, off the green near the stands. He finds himself looking at leaderboards and checking out his team’s standing instead of his own position – a common refrain among the 48 players in the field. To get outside his own bubble and become a part of a golfing family. That his teammates need him to perform, and that no matter how he stood on the individual leaderboard, every shot still matters for the team score. “I tend to play too many weeks in a row,” Lee said. He looked at the 2023 LIV schedule that includes Mayakoba, a place he enjoys playing; Greenbrier, a course he’s won on; and Sentosa in Singapore, another course that’s familiar to him. Of his 23 starts in 2022, Lee missed the cut 12 times and was forced to withdraw on three other occasions. Na hoped a good support team could help Lee get out of his own way and resurrect his game. He was a champion once more, and he wasn’t about to hide his joy. Lee moved to New Zealand; Na and Kim to America.

Captains also decide which two players will compete if a playoff is necessary to determine the team winner at each event. Although the high-end players always have in a sense been a one-man business, working with their agents and putting together a team including a caddie, coaches, trainers, nutritionists and others before joining LIV, this is on a different level. The winning team receives $3 million, second place $1.5 million and third place $500,000. That means most of the captains own that franchise. among other things, but even a pizza party to keep the team loose and help players wind down from the first day of a tournament.

I made probably the best decision to play on LIV Golf.
