To Whom It May Concern,<\/p>\n

Just wanted to personally (well, not exactly in person) inform you that I\u2019m taking my writing to the LIV editorial site. I\u2019ve really enjoyed my time writing for The A Position<\/em>\u00a0but this opportunity with LIV was too good to pass up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although I\u2019ll be making $10,000 per story it\u2019s not about the money. It\u2019s really what the money does for me and my family. And when I say \u201cfamily\u201d it\u2019s not really not my family since my wife and I are empty nesters and we don\u2019t have much overhead expenses as seniors. Rather, it\u2019s money for my grandchildren and their grandchildren because that\u2019s where the bulk of the money will end up. Call it a generational wealth decision.<\/p>\n

Also, it\u2019s not just my decision but also my agent\u2019s since he\u2019s gonna get 10% of the cut. I didn\u2019t know how much influence he really had in this matter.<\/p>\n

But again, it\u2019s not just about the money. (That\u2019s what my agent keeps whispering in my ear.) It\u2019s about freedom and getting more recognition for my writing and the stories. Although access to my writing will be harder to find\u2014it\u2019ll take a lot of passwords\u2014it\u2019ll be worth it in the long run. And by that, I mean the long run of compound interest in my fixed financial instruments.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m getting up in age where I don\u2019t want to write 20 or 25 weeks a year. LIV allows me to write 14 weeks a year and none of my pieces can be cut or edited for length. In fact, I\u2019m only asked to write 350 words max. Heck, I\u2019m only clearing my throat at 350 words writing for you.<\/p>\n

You, like others, may have qualms about me working for an enterprise funded by Saudi Arabia. I look at this way: if President Biden in recent months can travel to Saudi Arabia and beg for more oil, why can\u2019t I do business with its Sovereign Fund?<\/p>\n

Besides, the writing I\u2019ll be doing will be more fun and entertaining. The LIV creative team will embed loud music and video into my pieces that will be attractive to younger readers. They\u2019ve even created special emojis for me, too!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And Greg Norman is really a good guy. Although he wrongly accused Mark McCumber of being a cheater, ousted David Graham as a Captain of the Presidents Cup and even tried to sabotage the relationship of his stepsons with their father, Andy Mill, who had been married to Chris Evert, he\u2019s a misunderstood person. He just wants the best for himself and a select few other people. And I guess that now includes me.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s a legacy growing at LIV. Tournament winners will not automatically qualify for the Masters but they\u2019ll surely qualify for another tax bracket.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From what I hear, you\u2019re looking at making changes to how you compensate writers in the future. Good to know.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not really about money. It\u2019s what the money can buy\u2014like fast cars, beachfront villas and pet giraffes.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s keep in touch. And remember, LIV and let LIV.<\/p>\n

Best,<\/p>\n
