No, but he would trade it in for a united Republic of Ireland. The entire island should be the Republic of Ireland.

He was pretty subdued considering he just won 15 million dollars.

I guess when you’re that rich, 15 mill doesn’t move the needle too much

To put in perspective how absurd PGA tour money is now, Jack Nicklaus only won 5 million dollars in his entire career.

I’d say so. Not only would it have been another major but I’m pretty sure the fedex winnings is in the form of an annuity.

Edit: just looked it up- it’s not an annuity.

I think he still would rather a major, especially the masters

Yes, great golfers are measured by majors, not earnings and FedEx Cups. It would have been a career defining and legendary win if he won the Open at Royal Portrush.

Rory took home more money today than the winners of the 4 2019 majors combined. It's awesome and insane that the fedex prize is so huge.

He would take an Open win at Portrush over the Fed Ex in a NY second.
