How are the tournament purses accumulated? Is it money that the sponsor of the tournament puts up? Is it player entry fees that their sponsors put up?

Also, how do they determine where the smaller tournaments are hosted...like Nationwide tournaments?

IIRC, PGA purses are a combination of sponsorship and the TV contracts.

I know it was this way for Hogan/Nike events so would guess it's the same for Nationwide events too... the courses/membership petitions the PGA to host an event. They submit specs about the course, slope ratings etc... plus a detailed plan outlining the logistics (course improvements, parking, scoreboards, volunteer partcipation, etc...). Costs can run into the tens of thousands just to submit the proposal. Once the PGA offices get to a short list, then they visit the sites to confirm the plans and view the property and make recommendations. It's pretty extensive. After the event the PGA reviews the event and determines if they'll return to the venue or not. It can take years to get on the rotation, but you have to screw up to lose the event. A lot of courses just don't want the headache associated with hosting an event.

Even for the Nationwide events? The reason I ask is because I have seen many Nationwide events and there weren't many spectators and some even look like they are played on small municipal type courses.

Can't speak to how Nationwide does it, but it's still a PGA related event and they have some course requirements. Hell, Bethpage and Pebble are public courses too (far from muni's that's for sure!). I know that the few Nationwide events in NorCal are held at pretty decent tracks and I know that one went through a pretty rigorous process to get it. The other's a TPC course so I think it was kind of handed to them. Monday qualifiers though have been on some goat track-ish munis.

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
