Sarah Kemp's money at LIV Golf
Sarah Kemp doesn't make regular LET money by spending her money on LIV Golf. Saudi government funds the Saudi-backed tour. To keep their European Tour status, players who participate in the LET have to play at least six Saudi sponsored events. However, the LIV players' salaries are more than enough to cover their entire professional career.
LIV Golf has drawn a lot of criticism in recent weeks. Despite these criticisms, the LPGA seems to be making significant progress and setting a new standard in women's golf. It is one of the most popular tours in the world. The purse is huge. In recent years, the LPGA has increased its purse at each major event.
LIV Golf's backers are also controversial. The event was supported by the Saudi Public Investment Fund. It is also attracting major names in the field. Some of the players who signed on to play for LIV Golf have been suspended from the PGA Tour. Other players have quit US-based tours.
