Speaking on the Subpar Podcast, DiMarco stated: “We’re kind of hoping that LIV buys the Champions Tour. Let’s play for a little real money out here. I mean, this is kind of a joke when we’re getting $2m (at last week’s Hoag Classic).

Does Chris DiMarco have a degree? Let us know within the feedback part beneath.

His feedback raised eyebrows throughout the game. And amongst his most vocal critics was former golf participant and social media influencer Spiranac, who wrote a scathing rant directed at DiMarco to her a million X followers.

She fumed: “Chris DiMarco has made over 22 million dollars over his career on the course. That number is not counting sponsorship money. Hand up if you’re tired of pro golfers complaining about money.”
