I'd give everyone at this site 10,000 dollars, because I'm cool like that.

You the man.

Are we talking 20 million after taxes or before taxes? If I got 20 Million in hand this is what I would do. 1) Buy me a house 2) Pay off my parents houses (kid of divorce) 3) Buy me a new set of clubs 4) Go on a month long vacation just playing golf 5) Donate money to my favorite charity American Diabetes Association 6) Do something for the kids in the neighborhoods that don't have much 7) Build a nice golf course that seniors, and children can play cheap and any attractive girls my age play FREE!!!! After those things above if there's any money left I'll put it in the bank and hopefully live off of it.

You beat me to it. Poor Harry.

To answer the question, the wife and I would retire and live off the interest. Retirement means a little travel and a lot of golf. I'd buy a bigger house somewhere warmer, but for reasons I won't get into, I'm not likely to be moving from Erie for at least 13 more years. My step-kid is 5, if that clues you in... $20M? You should be able to earn between $600k to $1M interest on that thing easy year in even a pretty conservative investment.

It took almost 2 pages of post's before an Office Space comment came up. A little dissappointed Anyways I would try my hardest to stay anonymous and stay in the Coast Guard. Then I would ensure my Parents and very close friends and family were taken care of in whatever area they chose (most likely mortgages) Then I would donate a large chunk to the Special operations warriors fund. Then invest and live off of interest. My main concern would to not let the money become the root of any evil.

I'd do the usual: retire, look after family, get a house on the ocean with loys of property, along with condos in places like Hawaii etc... I am a Counsellor at a High School and coach, so I'd like to stay involved with coaching and my son is 6, so continue coaching his stuff.

One thing I think would be cool would be to find a young aspiring touring pro and sponsor him and see what happens with that.

Good thing about winning the lottery here in Canada is it is tax free. You just have to pay taxes on the money you make off of it. Now if I just starting buying tickets ...

I always told my parents I intend to pay back for my seven years of boarding school.

Other than that, lots of travel (200 days per year or so), a few nice cars (AM DB5, AM DB9, maybe a couple of luxury saloons), at least a couple of decent sized houses and a fractional private jet ownership...for travelling within the US.

Well first off, you dont really get 20 million. You can choose either a 10 million lump payout or a gradual payout of 20 million over the next 15 years. Its dumb to take the full amount because the lottery could end or something could happen and you lose your money. Then, you have to pay taxes on the 10 million making it more like 5 million. So its really not as much as it looks like.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
