The Boston Marathon pays out the same across all divisions, but as you say, this is a once a year event and run at the same time. Prize Money | Boston Athletic Association -

Day 21 - Rehearsed some swings, focus on the hips, against a counter to prevent me from moving towards the ball. -

I saw this posted elsewhere, and so I have no idea as to the veracity of it, but I will say it's a good post. Some small nits to pick: Those other events aren't held weekly or 36 times a year or whatever the LPGA Tour does. Some of those events have entry fees (marathons) that may help fund the payouts. I thought I had a third, earlier, but oh well. -

Day 20 (missed 2 and 8 days ago) - Took a look at my grip. The club was too far down into my fingers with the ring finger and pinkie in the left hand. Got the end of the shaft right under that lower bulb on the wrist, and felt a much better connection between both hands and the club. That combined with something I recently watched in a Clay Ballard video about the forearms in the takeaway, and I finally felt like I had the control I want in the takeaway. Had a good few swings today. Tomorrow will tell if this is a real change or something I happened to feel my way into today. -

I wasn't necessarily referring to the industry as a whole. More individual events. The ratings for a regular season game between top 10 teams is going to come close to a regular a season NFL game. Revenue from gate attendance for a Michigan/Ohio State game is going to come close to a regular season NFL game as well. Ratings for March Madness games are right up there with NBA playoffs games. My point is just that inferior "skill" or level of competition for an event doesn't automatically have to correlate to lower revenue potential. I also hesitate to say LPGA players are less skilled than their PGA counterparts, while also conceding its hard to come up with a better single word. Players on the LPGA have come as close to maximizing their abilities as possible, same on the PGA tour. So I don't think they are less skilled. They just have less powerful tools in the toolbox. I also enjoy watching LPGA every now and then as well. But for a reason I haven't seen mentioned yet... their game more closely compares to how I work my way around a course than the men's game. When an LPGA player is 145 yards out with a carry over a bunker, I can much more closely relate to that shot, and how I would play it rather than a PGA player. I'd love to hit a wedge, but its not in my tool box.
