Seamus Power reckons older golfers must want to "punch" current generation over "astronomical" prize money

Seamus Power believes older players must want to “punch” the current generation when they see the “astronomical” prize money now on offer in golf.

The Saudi-funded LIV Golf series distributed more than €230million in prize money in its inaugural season in 2022, with the PGA Tour responding by increasing its number of “elevated” events, which have prize funds of €18million and guaranteed appearances by top players.

Power competes on both the PGA Tour and DP World Tour and this week’s event on the latter, the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, boasts a €8.3million purse as part of the lucrative Rolex Series.
