Not quite the same thing……
I don't blame Phil for taking the money but let’s be honest. A really bad guy paid him $200 mill and he took it. That bad guy hopes people look at Phil right now and not him. He knows his golf tour will never make money. It is an investment in getting the spot light off his track record. And it is working.
But average guys filing up their tanks on the way home from work isn’t changing anything. Not even close to the same thing.
