wow over 100,000 for just turning up!!!! what a job to have !!!

Well if that's the case, I'd also claim to show up, then have a mysterious accident with a vacuum cleaner and a hoola-hoop, not show, then collect 100G. Sweet deal.

But in all honesty they did earn it... I'd make them play to get it, but that's quite a short list to make.

I've read what others said about Phil and Tiger not showing and in all honesty I just think there's way too much money _off_ the course rather than on the course. Some of these guys get more to show up then to actually win... truly if you don't have the fire to win, it seems you can get your paycheck elsewhere so why show up?

I watched a week ago Ernie looking at what he'd have to do to make that final 30 cut. I personally liked watching someone who makes a lot of money actually have a burning desire to compete at the championship (I'm not saying he was the only one).

As I write this, I predict my man Vijay turns it on for Sunday!

Their expenses are a lot higher than you think.
they don't stay at the local motel 8, they rent a house for the week.
pay a caddie.
jet fuel,pilot,crew, landing and take off fees.
rental cars
food
If the wife and or kids come thats extra costs.

I have a good feeling I could make it work though, especially since all guys in The Tour Championship have earned a couple million already this season. I could definitely make it work.

i'm sure his 104,000 dollars just for turning up and going home would have easily covered his expenses, as thrash said anyone could all easily make it work.
