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

The Saudi-funded LIV Golf series distributed more than £200million 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 £16million and guaranteed appearances by top players.
