In June, Brandel Chamblee, an analyst for the Golf Channel, posted a tweet alleging that the prize money players won at the LIV Golf tournament was counted against the golfers’ signing bonus, as reported by Swing U. The tweet has since been deleted. During a press conference, a member of the press asked players about Chamblee’s allegation, and a spokesperson for LIV Golf released a statement that said the prize purses are “in addition to” the signing bonus.
In a court hearing in August, however, an LIV Golf attorney contradicted what the representative said about the players’ contracts. As reported by The New York Post, the attorney stated that golfers’ earnings are counted against the signing fee they received, which coincided with Chamblee’s tweet. The contradicting statements from two people representing LIV Golf left many wondering what the truth is in regard to prizes and contracts.
