While Cristiano Ronaldo believes he's the king, the low blow he receives from Saudi Arabia

Times are changing for sports as we knew them… With a tremendous investment of millions and millions of euros, the Middle Eastern country wants to promote sport as one of the main attractions to create an epicenter that can capture the attention of the entire world.

Cristiano Ronaldo got signed for an exorbitant contract in which the Portuguese forward earns 200 million euros for each of the two seasons in which he arranged to play there. After Real Madrid's historic attacker, other footballers of the stature of Neymar and Karim Benzema also arrived in exchange for succulent salaries.

However, none of them can look at the new player who will make history by earning 600 million euros in Saudi Arabia. The athlete will earn three times more than Cristiano Ronaldo but he is not linked to football but to the world of golf. This is Jon Rahm, who in a historic decision left the PGA Tour platform to join LIV, the circuit linked to this sport that was inaugurated by Saudi Arabia.

What is it?

LIV Golf, also known as Super Golf League is a professional golf circuit. It was founded in 2022, with the sponsorship of the Public Investment Fund (it is the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia). The circuit rivals the PGA Tour (United States) and the DP World Tour (Europe), offering substantially higher prize money.
