In the build-up, and conclusion, of the first LIV Golf Invitational Series event at the Centurion Club, many influential figures have given their thoughts and opinions on the new Saudi-backed series.
Faldo’s comments had been somewhat supported by nine-time Major winner, Gary Player, with Player stating in an interview with Sky Sports that: “There’s not a lot of them (players featuring at LIV) who can win on their regular Tour anymore.” However, the 86-year-old also said that players were “wisely taking the money.”
Liv Tour:
On Saturday evening at the RBC Canadian Open, six-time Major winner Nick Faldo, and his CBS colleague, Jim Nantz, gave their thoughts on the LIV Golf Series, with both men slamming the set-up of the 54-hole format, as well as those players who have jumped ship to pursue the larger purses.
Contract:
Nantz’s current contract, which pays him a reported $6.5 million per year, was set to expire this spring.
Terms of his new contract were not announced, but last year Romo re-signed with CBS for a deal worth $17.5 million per year.
Annual Salary:
Nantz, 61, currently makes $6.5 million per year on his contract from CBS, which expires in the summer of 2021.
