@Portland_John @acaseofthegolf1 Not a salary it’s a minimum they get per tournament which is called a base. For example Steve Williams, Tiger’s former caddie, had issues because when Tiger was out he wasn’t making money. He asked to temporarily caddie for Adam Scott because of it and Tiger took issue with that.

Can’t exclude the caddie as it’s any players biggest investment/expense. Ryder played 28 events last year. Caddie salary~ 70K Caddie % another 70K or so on 1.3 million earnings Guys like Ryder might not have coaches travel w him as much to save money but def has expenses for coaches. Might be a fee or %. He might save a little on not having a big of “team” as Griffin but the fact is players have to invest in your career. Griffins % of expenses to earnings was around 10%, guaranteed Ryders % was much higher no matter how many corners cut. The fact is players on the PGA Tour have to invest in your career, because you’re competing against players who have the things Ben Griffin has. On the dev tour side Tom Whitney described it best when talking about airline seats and investing in your career. He used to get cheapest seat but learned if getting an exit row or 1st class tix means his body feels better and he gets some sleep, then the few hundred bucks is worth it. Same with hotels, eating right etc. you can cut corners and plenty of players have made it without a “team” but it’s harder.

@acaseofthegolf1 I'm more interested in what someone like Sam Ryder or David Lipsky pays out on a weekly basis (excluding caddie) Limited sponsors, clinging to status, etc

@acaseofthegolf1 It’s not the biggest expense though as he works on commission. For him to make big bucks the player has to cash in big. I think what we wanted was to know was the fixed costs of a PGAT player per week. Plus he honestly did a bad job of breaking it down.

@acaseofthegolf1 A question about the caddie who made ~140k here. Is that caddie also paying their own way on travel and lodging, taking a good chunk of that money? Do caddies split rooms/AIRBNBs to save money?

Never accept a counteroffer—even if it’s a 100% hike. Being in HR, I’ve seen this play out more times than you think. A candidate I was hiring for was earning 100,000. He got a new offer of 170,000, a solid jump. But within 15 minutes of the offer letter hitting his inbox, he backed out. His current company dangled a 190,000 counter-offer and he accepted it immediately. Fast forward 4 months… The same candidate messaged me again. His company had laid him off and replaced him with a cheaper resource. His message started with: Hi sir, I’m really sorry… do you have any openings? This is exactly why I keep saying this: 👉 A counter-offer is not a reward. It’s a strategy to buy time until they find someone cheaper. 👉 Loyalty doesn’t magically increase with money. 👉 If they valued you, they wouldn’t wait until your resignation to pay you fairly. Please don’t fall for counter-offers. It looks like a win… until it isn’t.

BREAKING: A source close to the US Ryder Cup team says that Keegan Bradley wants to hand co-captaincy to Phil Mickelson so Bradley can select himself for Team USA. A contingent of PGA Tour brass responded with threats to Bradley for him not to do it. A huge political battle is playing out behind the scenes as the PGA Tour once again stands in the way of what golfers and the fans want.

@GovBobFerguson Bob Ferguson: - Signed the largest tax increase in state history into law - Prioritizes Illegal alien criminals over law-abiding Washingtonians You are a disgrace to the governor's office. And that's saying something considering we were stuck with Inslee for 12 years.

HOLY CRAP The illegal alien truck driver who kiIIed 3 people, FAILED an English Language Assessment, getting only 2/12 answers right and identifying only 1/4 highway traffic signs. It was also discovered that WA and CA issued Singh a commercial driver's license despite not being eligible for it. Authorities in New Mexico also failed to issue ELP tests when Singh was stopped there for speeding..

That’s nothing. They are spending a fortune to remodel every restaurant with a more “urban” look. Money flush. Could have put together a few training teams and hit the restaurants over 12 months to work on food quality, customer service and cleanliness. Fire the CEO and anyone else who thought this was a great idea.

A few days ago, I got this message. Our @driveftf does everything we can to take care of all the requests we get for those in need. Even when it doesn’t make sense from a budget standpoint. Today we ordered this young man a brand new set of @CallawayGolf clubs. Play Well.

The more I watch Scottie in ’24-25, the more I wonder… is this run actually more impressive than Tiger’s early 2000s stretch?

If you could play golf only one final time what course would you play? Can be a course you’ve already played. Can be a course you’ve never played. Anything goes. It’s your last round of golf. Ever. Where is it? And why?
