Now that it's too cold to go outside and PLAY golf, I have to find other "golf diversions....." So today I decided to look up the 2018 PGA Tour money list.
A couple of things struck me......First, the money these guys make is amazing. When I first started following golf on tv, the leading money winners would make somewhere between 50-60k I guess.
(this was the early to mid-1960's.) This year's leading money winner, Justin Thomas, made $8,694,821 !!!! Geez!!! The second thing was how far down the list you have to go before you find a player who made LESS than a million bucks. The player who finished 115th on the money list was the first guy who made
less than a million, and that man, ironically, is Sam Saunders, the grandson of Arnold Palmer, the guy who started the influx of money on the tour!
In case you're interested, here is the complete money list, which I found on ESPN.com.......
