$$$$$ has and is ruining golf in my humble opinion! Maverick McNealy received $101,379 for finishing 37th in the Open!
Now I know players pay their own expenses including a nice caddy fee!(% of $) but even if you don’t win a tournament all season it’s a great deal! Scotty Scheffler won a staggering $25 million bonus for winning the Cup!
In 2007 woods won the first and collected 10 million! Take Justin Thomas,Jordan Spieth, and others whose game has not lived up to their standards since winning the Cup!
It pays enough $$ that I truly believe affects their immediate future! I mean practice hrs,commitment,desire! I still think love for the game never diminishes but what it takes to get there does! That’s what made Jack,Tiger so great! Winning and doing what it takes never left them! Does Scotty have that desire and work effort to join those to greats? Or will $$$
Become a distraction and take away that edge that the absolute elite have! So far $$ is winning over all time greatness!
