Forget the politics for a minute and think about why one would go to that tour. 48 man field, $25M purse, $4M first prize, 3 rounds, no cut and DFL gets $180K. The elite guys, top 60 or so don’t need it. As to others we’re talking generational wealth. A guy like Varner (one of the nicest guys out there) has been playing his ass off and has yet to win on tour. It’s really hard to win a PGA tour event and the money is huge. A guy like Varner could conceivably win $8M plus easy in one season.
