Recently, Crushers GC made news when they emerged victorious in a major golf event and took home an incredible $14 million in prize money. Star golfers Anirban Lahiri and Bryson DeChambeau led the squad in demonstrating remarkable talent on the green.

The fact that each player took home only $1.4 million from the substantial prize fund, however, attracted the attention of both critics and fans alike. Moreover, it also raised concerns about how prizes are distributed in the professional golf game.
