Days Before His Resurgence, Tiger Woods Suffers a Massive $15M Blow as Rory McIlroy Steals His Crown in Staggering Fashion
You would think it’s finally the time for Tiger Woods to shine. Now that he is back from an injury and set to compete in a professional tournament in more than six months, it would seem that the dark days are over. But the veteran golfer was yet to receive another blow before his much-anticipated comeback.
The Player Impact Program recognizes the top 20 players who have made a positive impact outside the course. The $100M purse distributed among the twenty golfers is a way of rewarding the pros who have generated the most interest for the PGA Tour among golf fans.
This year, Rory McIlroy tops the list and walks away with $15M in bonus leaving Woods at the second place with $12M to his name. While this may seem shocking to some, the fact that Woods has appeared only two times this season has a role to play in this. McIlroy, on the other hand, teed off at 17 PGA Tour events this season including the Majors with two wins to his name.
