Story continues Purse bumps depend on sponsors

The answer reflects the reality of the economics: Champions Tour purses are more dependent on title sponsorship contracts than TV money and it’s a tour financially supported by the PGA Tour anyway.Īnd with the PGA Tour tapping into its reserves and asking for more help from its title sponsors in response to the LIV Golf tour luring players away with mind-boggling, there’s little left in the kitty to throw to the Champions Tour. So while PGA Tour players will have a chance to compete for first-place checks of up to $4.5 million for winning The Players (which exceeds the total purse for every PGA Tour Champions event), and Korn Ferry Tour players can make $180,000 for winning a regular-season event (nearly double the amount from most regular-season events in 2019), why aren’t Champions Tour earnings increasing at a fast pace than the projected 10 percent for next season? There will be modest gains next year to an average of $2.3 million but only nine of the 27 events will offer bumps and at this point, the Constellation Furyk & Friends, being played this week at the Timuquana Country Club, may not be one of them. I’m looking forward to it.In between is the PGA Tour Champions, whose average purse this season of $2.1 million is only $600,000 more than the Korn Ferry Finals.

Unfortunately, the event will have no spectators to watch Taylor play. "Trying to lay the foundation for young pros and amateurs, give them a place to play, give them that stepping stone from collegiate golf,” said Mulholland. The tour’s motto is "Preparing tomorrow’s champions."

There are 36 professional and 96 amateur golfers teeing it up for $11,000 in total prize money. “He paved the way for a lot (of) future players to come play our tour and learn from what he did," Mulholland said. He’s also been a big inspiration to all the golfers chasing the dream of playing professionally.

"I started my pro career out here," he said.įraser Mulholland, president of the tour, is thrilled to have Taylor's calibre in the field. This week, Taylor has been brought back to his roots, playing in the Vancouver Golf Tour at the Chilliwack Golf Club. “It was incredible… a great moment for us to share," he said. The 32-year-old held on to a four-stroke victory at Pebble Beach, celebrating his second PGA tour win with his family. I knew I had to stick to my own game and not worry about what he was doing," reflects Taylor. I was playing good golf, I was confident going into the round, but also knew that Phil being who Phil is- a hall of famer- and won this five times. On the final day, Taylor was in the lead and was paired with fan favorite Phil Mickelson. Also, it seems like it was yesterday," he said. In February, Taylor heard the roar of the crowd when he won his second PGA event at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California. “It’s different…last week, I thought the craziest moment was when someone missed a short putt to try to win, and there were no oohs or ahhhs,” he said. Taylor has been watching and says there is one thing missing in the game, and it’s the fans.
The PGA tour is back and into its second week of action with no COVID-19 cases. As a travelling golfer, you don’t get to spend too much time at home.” Taylor told CTV News.
