The golf’s been good. The views, too. Scenes from the Bahamas in December at all times heat the late fall soul.
But when we’re to essentially rank favorites from this week’s Hero World Problem, Scottie Scheffler may be on the high, although not for his play, which has been nice, too.
No, no, this salute is for his dry joke on Wednesday.
It’s a gem. Notably, his crack centered round cash, so it additionally suits this text. It got here in response to this query, requested Wednesday throughout his pre-tournament press convention:
“I noticed Tiger joined you for a bit bit through the pro-am. What do you guys discuss when he’s on the market and is it a bit bit surreal that right here you’re simply form of capturing it with Tiger Woods particularly after the season you’ve had, the way you simply elevated your profession?”
To which Scheffler responded:
“Yeah, I feel more often than not we simply discuss cash and the way the purses have to be greater. At present we actually grinded on the Ryder Cup and the way it’s simply such BS that we’ve by no means gotten paid. Tiger was actually annoyed. He appears like he hasn’t made sufficient cash in his profession. I really feel the identical manner. I really feel like final yr I didn’t receives a commission sufficient for what I did. Principally that, only a bunch of griping.”
Then he laughed. We did too.
With that, listed below are the cash payouts for the Hero World Problem. The full purse is $5 million.
