Sarah Kemp's money on LIV Golf
Sarah Kemp's LIV Golf income is not part of her regular LET income. The Saudi-backed tour is backed by the Saudi government. Players competing in the LET must play at least six Saudi-sponsored events in order to maintain their European Tour status. The salary LIV golfers receive is sufficient to cover their entire career earnings for a single season.
LIV Golf received much criticism in recent months. Despite these criticisms, the LPGA seems to be making significant progress and setting a new standard in women's golf. It is the most well-known tour in the world with a huge prize pool. Each major event has seen an increase in the purse of the LPGA over recent years.
LIV Golf is also surrounded by controversy because of its backers. The tournaments have attracted big names in the sport, with the support of the Saudi Public Investment Fund. LIV Golf suspended several players who signed up for the PGA Tour. Other players have quit the US-based tour.
