Shane Lowry says golfers got 'sidetracked' over extra millions following LIV Golf's emergence

Shane Lowry says PGA Tour and DP World Tour players got "sidetracked" into thinking $100m in prizemoney is normal following the emergence of LIV Golf.

However Lowry believes that the plan outlined by PGA chiefs last year will provide a sustainable future for those who decided to stay put and not join the controversial Saudi-backed operation fronted by Greg Norman.

“So, I think what's happened in the last year or so, we've got sidetracked into thinking that 20 million or 100 million is just normal and that's what we should be playing for and that's what we're worth - and that, if we are playing for two or three million on this Tour, that is not enough,” said the Clara man, who is a new member of the PGA Tour’s Player Advisory Council.
