A PGA Tour Schedule Minus Tiger's Impact
Greetings ...
At the Tour Championship, Geoff Ogilvy remarked that without the imapct of Tiger Woods, weekly purses might be closer to $2.5-million instead of the $5 to $8 million that most events offer now.
Check out the 2006 PGA Tour schedule below, with the purses rolled back to 1999 levels (in most cases), then ask yourself --
Would I mind playing the tour as presented below? And with the purses as shown below?
Code:Estimated total prize money .................. $132,000,000.00 Average per each official event (46 events) .. $ 2,869,562.21+ ## Date Event Purse | 1st Prize --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. 1/ 5-8 Mercedes Championships $3.000-m | $ 540,000 2. 1/12-15 SONY-Hawaiian Open $2.500-m | $ 450,000 3. 1/18-22 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic $3.000-m | $ 540,000 4. 1/26-29 Buick-San Diego Open $2.500-m | $ 450,000 5. 2/ 2-5 FBR Phoenix Open $3.000-m | $ 540,000 6. 2/ 9-12 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Amateur $3.000-m | $ 540,000 7. 2/16-19 Nissan-Los Angeles Open $2.500-m | $ 450,000 8. 2/23-26 Tucson-Home of the Sun Open $2.500-m | $ 450,000 9. 3/ 2-5 Doral-Ford Open $3.000-m | $ 540,000 10. 3/ 9-12 Honda Classic $2.500-m | $ 450,000 11. 3/16-19 Bay Hill Invitational $2.500-m | $ 450,000 12. 3/23-26 Players Championship $4.000-m | $ 720,000 13. 3/30-4/2 BELL SOUTH Atlanta Classic $2.500-m | $ 450,000 14. 4/ 6-9 Masters Tournament $4.000-m | $ 720,000 15. 4/13-16 Verizon-Heritage Golf Classic $2.500-m | $ 450,000 16. 4/20-23 Shell's Wonderful Houston Open $3.000-m | $ 540,000 17. 4/27-30 Zurich-New Orleans Classic $2.500-m | $ 450,000 18. 5/ 4-7 Wachovia Championship $3.000-m | $ 540,000 19. 5/11-14 EDS-Byron Nelson Classic $3.000-m | $ 540,000 20. 5/18-21 Bank of America Colonial $2.500-m | $ 450,000 21. 5/25-28 Fed Ex St. Jude Classic $2.500-m | $ 450,000 22. 6/ 1-4 The Memorial Tournament $2.500-m | $ 450,000 23. 6/ 8-11 Barclays-Westchester Classic $2.500-m | $ 450,000 24. 6/15-18 United States Open $4.000-m | $ 720,000 25. 6/22-25 Buick-Greater Hartford Open $2.500-m | $ 450,000 26. 6/29-7/2 Bell Canadian Open $3.000-m | $ 540,000 27. 7/ 6-9 Cialis Western Open $3.000-m | $ 540,000 28. 7/13-16 John Deere Classic $2.500-m | $ 450,000 29. 7/20-23 British Open Championship $4.000-m | $ 720,000 30. 7/20-23 B.C.

Yup.
Some expensive rounds on that list. A week of free golf at each of those courses would be a dream retirement.

My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.
