Sarah Kemp's money with LIV Golf
Sarah Kemp doesn't make regular LET money by spending her money on LIV Golf. 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 received much criticism in recent months. The LPGA has been criticized for its inability to set a new standard for women’s golf. It is the most well-known tour in the world with a huge prize pool. The LPGA has been increasing its purse at every major event in recent years.
LIV Golf also has controversy surrounding its backers. The tournaments have attracted big names in the sport, with the support of the Saudi Public Investment Fund. LIV Golf has taken some of the players off the PGA Tour. Other players have quit US-based tours.
