Maybe put morals above money sometimes? People Re so greedy they don't care about anything else. How much is enough?

What morals? If a CEO of a corporation can make billions without paying taxes surely a golfer can make a few hundred million without people losing their collective minds.

..."Players including Phil Mickelson had filed an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour in early August after their suspensions from the league, alleging anticompetitive practices. The Justice Department is also investigating the league for possible antitrust violations. Mickelson, an LIV player, previously had a lifetime membership on the tour after winning 20 events across more than 15 seasons.
The latest move comes after the PGA Tour announced significant changes that were seen as ways to retain player loyalty and better compete with the deep-pocketed LIV league.
Among the changes were increased prize money, added player benefits and a commitment among the tour's top players to play in at least 20 events a year."
