Rory McIlroy will reportedly receive $50m in equity for sticking with the PGA Tour during its civil war with LIV Golf - half of what Tiger Woods has been offered.
Strategic Sports Group agreed a monumental $1.5billion investment deal with the new PGA Tour Enterprises group earlier this year that was set to handsomely reward players for their loyalty.
It was revealed that the PGA Tour's top 36 players would share $750m of equity between them in a bid to keep them out of the clutches of LIV.
How the money was divvied up depended on a metric called 'Career Point', based on their achievements on tour throughout their time competing.
Woods, having won a record-equalling 82 titles, stands comfortably at the top of the list.

According to the Telegraph, the 15-time major champion will receive the biggest equity reported to be worth around $100m.
Based on all the other factors used to decide the final figures, Phil Mickelson would have been second on the list had he not moved to LIV.
McIlroy is closest to Woods as he's set to receive $50m while both Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas will both reportedly be due equity worth $30m.
However, the final figure won't go straight into the bank of the players with measures put in place to stop them cashing in and immediately moving to LIV.
The report claims that players will be required to meet certain requirements over an eight-year period to receive all the money.
It's claimed that 50 per cent of their equity will be made available after four years with the remaining figure split in two-year intervals after that.
Despite the promise of a huge financial boost for the tour's best players, it still falls short of the figures that have been reportedly linked to LIV Golf.
Jon Rahm signed a deal said to have been worth $450m to join the Saudi-backed league at the end of last year.
After the Masters, astonishing reports emerged that McIlroy had been offered a monstrous deal worth $850m.
But the four-time major champion was quick to dismiss the rumours and pledged a lifetime allegiance to the PGA Tour.

"I honestly don't know how these things get started," McIlroy said.
"I've never been offered a number from LIV, and I've never contemplated going to LIV.
"Again, I think I've made it clear over the past two years that I don't think it's something for me.

"It doesn't mean that I judge people who have went and played over there.
"I think one of the things that I have realised over the past two years is that people can make their own decisions for whatever they think is best for themselves, and who are we to judge them for that?
"But personally, for me, my future is here on the PGA Tour, and it's never been any different."
