He never had any intention of creating a new league. He, for whatever reason(probably those sentiments contained in Norman's letter) wanted to bring about change in the way the PGA Tour works.
He sat down with their attorneys and crafted
The contracts for the players. What else would he have to do to show intent?

KPMG doesn't pay him to wear their hat while he's taking money from scratch golfers on a weekday. They pay him to sport it on national tv in tournaments. His actual actions of trying to start the Saudi league led to him being banned (or in this case, taking a leave of absence) from the tour. He isn't valuable to his sponsors that way.
There is a long list of professional athletes that have represented products and been in commercials long after their playing days are over. Golf's Arnold Palmer being among the biggest. This has nothing to do with performance or being out there competing.

Phil is no Arnold Palmer. He is viewed as the exact opposite off the course.
