Sarah Kemp's money in LIV Golf
Sarah Kemp's LIV Golf money is not her regular LET income. The Saudi-backed tour is backed by the Saudi government. To maintain their European Tour status, players must participate in at least six Saudi-sponsored events. However, LIV golf players get more than enough money to cover their entire careers in one season.
LIV Golf has received a lot of criticism over the past weeks. Despite these criticisms the LPGA is showing signs of improvement and creating a new standard in women’s golf. It is the most popular tour in the world, and has a huge purse. Each major event has seen an increase in the purse of the LPGA over recent years.
LIV Golf has also been criticized for its backers. The tournaments have attracted big names in the sport, with the support of the Saudi Public Investment Fund. Some of the players who signed on to play for LIV Golf have been suspended from the PGA Tour. Some players quit the US-based tour.
