The tour will only get what the market can bear.   When advertisers realize they aren't getting their monies worth in revenue, they advertise elsewhere.   Tiger, right now is a big draw every time he plays.   Advertisers realize this and will spend the bigger buck to get publicity.  Unless another personality steps up that has the draw of Tiger, I personally, don't see the prizes going up.   I believe when Tiger does retire, the purse strings will tighten.  

Think about the events Tiger has consistently not played. Are their purses significantly lower than the events Tiger usually plays?

I don't think so.

The RBC, which Tiger has never (?) played, awards $1.2M to the winner. This week the Valero awards $1.1M. The Farmers Insurance is $1.27, same as Waste Management (he's played there very rarely).

Hell, the Mayakoba Golf Classic paid Kuchar $1.296M. DeChambeau won $1.26 for winning the Shriners.

Agreed. It was well written with some new anecdotes, but the overall themes surrounding Tiger Woods remain unchanged by the article.  The major point I disagree with is definitively declaring tha

I'm not disagreeing with you about the purses. It's great there is so much money available right now in the smaller tournaments but if Tiger would have never happened I don't believe they would be as big as they are right now.   After he retires, I don't see the purses continue to grow.   I still believe because of Tiger, all of the purses are higher.  Will they shrink when he leaves?  Who knows but again, I don't see them growing unless we see another superstar of his caliber.

apple-touch-icon.png The Economist's nerdy Masters analysis is bad news for Tiger Woods fans

Tiger Woods fans are already handing Tiger the green jacket, but The Economist is ready to throw cold water...

Interesting graph of player’s win chances in the article.

No they're not. WTF? (This isn't @Vinsk's wording, it's from the article he linked to.)

Yeah that irked me. Where do they get that nonsense? Nobody hands anybody the green jacket. Even in Tiger's prime The Masters is just a tournament nobody would say that about anybody.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Apparently, he shot a 65 yesterday with a 3 putt on the first hole.

I think that was last week. Pretty sure he played nine holes yesterday and I know he didn’t truly “play” by holing out etc.

You're correct, I misread. Apparently it was last Wednesday

      What Are You Listening To?

      By guitarget ·

      I am listening to 23rd Street.  24 hours a day of cars, trucks, planes, sirens, and neighbors who start lawn mowers at 6:30am. I try to drown it out with 7,600 WAVE music files on a huge USB drive.  Mostly 1950's through 1990's music.

      Thanks! Evolvr, for sure. My indoors setup is pretty close to ready. I want to add a few more lights as it's a pretty dark place to begin with (old barn). Plan to use my iPhone 14 Pro, 720p 240 FPS. I think I got a tripod somewhere, but I nail everything down so I'll make a small box I can just plop the phone into. That way I know it's always in the same spot and level. How does the setup look in terms of angles and stuff.  I saw that topic and bookmarked it for later. A technique where you want the head to move forward and down? I've been doing that for twenty years! (not on purpose) 😛 Looks fun, I'll certainly try it out. £7000. That's certainly "down the line". What would be a good price? Thanks. I'll probably hold off until at least winter comes and see where we're living at that point. For the next six months I'll combine indoor practice with the range, which helps.
