Uihlein Happy With LIV Path

Last February, when it appeared as if LIV Golf’s grand dream had fallen into chaos after Phil Mickelson’s hot-sauce comments about the tour’s Saudi backers had been made public and players were distancing themselves from the bold new endeavor that Rory McIlroy had declared “dead in the water,” Peter Uihlein went the other way.

He called LIV Golf and asked to join.

“I figured I might as well take a chance,” Uihlein said last month.

That chance earned Uihlein more than $11 million this year, nearly triple what he won in 126 starts on the PGA Tour. Uihlein finished second twice and fourth once in seven LIV starts, earning a $4 million bonus for finishing third in the season-long individual competition.

Is it because Uihlein found a comfortable place to play or because the competition level was different?

It probably depends on which side of the LIV Golf fence one stands.
