It does seem like the drive to play golf again does not exceed the comfort of $10 million, he could earn that money and then some with a lot of hard work, over the next decade, but he could also just hang out and do whatever, forever, would many choose the golf?

And, depending on how he recovers from his injuries, he may not even come close to making half that much even if did put in the work and gave it 100%.

He's going to be 31 this year so if he decides to take the money from the insurance policy, then good luck to him.  I hope he's smart with the money and is able to make it grow through investments or what not which, if he does, may end up being more than he could realistically make on tour.

Duval never dropped out, though.  He's played in events every year since he came on the tour - including this year (missed the cut at Pebble Beach).  Plus he's a golf commentator.  Maybe people stopped looking - but he's not hiding, lol.      

True, but at one time he was really riding the wave! Wasn't he the #1 ranked player in the world at one time? I just recently saw that he's on the Golf Channel. I wouldn't know that because I don't get the Golf Channel anymore. I used to be able to buy it A La Carte from Dish Network. Then they changed their policy, and I had to buy the premium mega-package just to get it. That didn't sit well with me, and I refused to do it.

Oh yeah - he was the last Tiger before Tiger, lol.  I totally get what you're saying - he was in the limelight but now he's not (as much) . .but that's where the similarity would end between him and AK.  AK didn't achieve a fraction of what Duval did.  AK;s highest world ranking, I think, was 6 . .for a minute.  Duval was pretty dominant for a 5-6 year period - hitting #1 a couple different times.   AK disappeared after his struggles.  Duval kept banging away - playing events every single year including this year.

Good golfer, but Hideki is probably the best asian player now, not good looking swing but better than AK

AK hasn’t played in years. So… huh?

Can't speak to the veracity of this claim, but it's out there. For one thing, I can't tell if there's a garish belt buckle. 😜

You have a point, but sometimes I wonder. Heck, it's been so long I can't even remember what his injuries were. 

And there's so much money on the Tour these days! There's a player on Tour who lived in this area and graduated from a local HS, so I kind of keep track of him. He's never come close to winning anything, yet he won 1.8 Mill official money last year and 1.5 Mill the prior year. He's finished in the money the past 3 weeks, winning a shade north of 200K. Not bad work if you can get it!

Off topic, but Molinari is planning on coming back is the gist of his tweet thread if the translator is working correctly.

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
