While the staggering sums of cash being tossed around by LIV Golf the past couple of years have drawn some of the biggest names on the PGA Tour to make the leap, veteran golfer Fred Couples said this week that it couldn’t turn the head of rising star Will Zalatoris.

Couples told the Orange County Register that Zalatoris, now 26, turned down a $130 million offer to join the controversial rival to the PGA Tour.

“Money is zero object (for LIV Golf),” said Couples, who shares the same agent as Zalatoris. “I give Will a lot of credit; he wants (to stay) with the PGA Tour.”
