The tour formulated a scoring model, using objective metrics regarding internet searches, general awareness, social media reach and other factors, to quantify each player&#8217;s impact on the tour.<\/p>\n<p>In a memo sent to golfers last <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/week\/\"   title=\"week\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">week<\/a>, PGA Tour executive vice president and chief player officer Jason Gore announced that Rory McIlroy had dethroned Tiger Woods in the 2023 PIP rankings and would receive $15 million of the $100 million dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Woods, who finished first the previous two years when he was barely playing, finished second and will collect $12 million.  Jon Rahm ($9 million) was third, followed by Spieth ($7.5 million), Scottie Scheffler ($6 million), Rickie Fowler ($5.5 million), Viktor Hovland ($5 million). ), Justin Thomas ($5 million), Tommy Fleetwood ($5 million).  ) and Max Homa ($5 million).<\/p>\n<p>The PGA Tour announced in March that the PIP bonus pool would be reduced to $50 million for the top 10 in 2024. It had previously paid $100 million to the top 20.  According to the circuit, the remaining $50 million will be reallocated to others.  player programs, including the FedEx Cup Bonus and the Comcast Business Tour Top 10.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it was pretty unanimous, including those of us who benefited significantly from it, to reduce it and find a way to distribute those funds elsewhere to support, ideally, the fields, the scholarships, so you can still benefit individually, but finding the right balance,&#8221; Spieth said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I&#8217;m not sure, I know it will halve next year. I don&#8217;t know what it will look like after that. I hope it doesn&#8217;t need to exist, I think it is the best way to put it. I think it makes everyone happy, including those who benefited from it, because there will be other ways to benefit from the performance and just be a great brand for the PGA Round. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Some PGA Tour players have criticized the PIP program as nothing more than a popularity contest and a way for star players to get even richer.  Shortly after Gore&#8217;s memo was sent to players last week, veteran Nate Lashley, ranked 188th in the world, criticized PIP on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow many golf fans actually know what PIP is on the PGA Tour?\u201d  Lashley wrote.  \u201cI would love to hear from golf\/PGA fans if they think this $100 million was well spent?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are 150 to 200 members of the PGA Tour and they just spent $100 million on 20 players. It seems a little ridiculous. It&#8217;s time for new leadership on the PGA Tour.
