Thorough and entertaining. Another possible video is how much it costs to be a golfer and how much you have to make to eke out a livable salary.

@Cryptonomics7 2 года назад

PGA making it super hard. id like to see LIVE Tour change that - to at least give good golfers a run at making money to continue their careeers. PGA Tour just drains the LIFE out of your pockets. Unbelieveable. Could you imagine having to pay this to get into tennis, basketball, or baseball? lol

Golf is the only pro sport where you actually earn what you are worth.

@dark3rthanshadows 3 года назад

It's very similar with tennis bro, if u don't keep winning u won't make money. it's not like group sports and huge salaries. there's no salaries it's winning and climbing through the ranks. then u get popular and sponsors come but the mechanic is he same.

@edwardcaldwell9644 2 года назад

This comment makes no sense. The rest of the sports aren't creating money from thin air. They are paying people a percentage of the profits earned from their labor. At most half, with the team owners taking the rest. They couldn't be paid as much if they weren't worth as much. Golfers are in fact laughably underpaid. You would be shocked if you really new how much these players are actually worth. Doesn't matter what you think their value is.

@nickthomas7057 2 года назад

@@edwardcaldwell9644 that’s why guys like rickie fowler are out here doing every other commercial they can get their hands on. But what the other was saying is that it’s one of the only sports where you can get paid for how well you play on the spot. If you win the players championship, in a month or something you’ll have like 8 mill in the bank. If you don’t win at all you’ll have nothing.

@bignastytiger4174 2 года назад

@@edwardcaldwell9644 actually, the comment makes perfect sense. All sports (except for tennis & golf) have players & coaches that sign a prenup-determined figure that is something called a contract. You have to earn your job/paycheck EVERY WEEK in golf.

Wow. This was very well done. GOLF (and Tennis maybe?) is one of those sports where there is no guarantee. No 10 year $252MM guaranteed contract. You must perform to win, even if you're the best.

@orkayen 3 года назад

how about senior tours? is it through KF tour also? are there Monday or Thursday qualifiers?

@messergolf Год назад

Great Content. Very clear and helpful. I agree, in my opinion a PGA TOUR card should be earned for at least the top 5 performers at Qschool, as it is a lengthy, EXPENSIVE, challanging task. If you are in top 5 at qschool, you are NOT an average Joe to the game, and are most likely going to be a star winner on the PGA TOUR.

Insanely hard. Have to basically shoot course record to qualify

@megantaylormichaels 2 года назад

@@youtubeaccountidaho9858 monday qualifying or US Open are the ways to go for the average person, meaning, those who don't have the financial means to go the long route. unfortunately, this game is still for the well to do for the most part. so get real good and do local and regional qualifiers for the US Open. If you finish in the top 10, you will get exemptions and your card that way. "insanely hard" is relative. It is really about money the longer routes.

@youtubeaccountidaho9858 3 года назад

Justin Rose made the tour through the majors. Finished 4th at the British and that got him on.

@anaks247 3 года назад

Good one. Yeah I know he turned pro the next day after that finish. I think he played on the European Tour though, but very well could've played on the PGA Tour if he wanted. Of course, his 21 missed cuts to start his pro career, showed he wasn't quite ready yet for either tour at the time.

I partially wish Q school came back. I ran out of funds to continue pursuing professional golf like many of my fellow colleagues and returned to a normal 9-5.Granted i make far more than 90% of players on the Korn Ferry Tour now, but the satisifaction of being able to do what I truly love was stripped away and is not supported by the likes of the PGA Tour.

@anaks247 3 года назад

Yeah it’s crazy! To make it worse, that player missed qualifying by 1 shot. His name is Joe Daley.

@AngeloBerardi-em3js 3 года назад

If I remember correctly, the cup was not put in square to the hole. But because everyone played it like that, there was nothing he could do about it. His ball just happened to hit the cup edge at the right angle to cause it to pop out. That was a huge bad break.

@TryoutVilo 4 месяца назад

There is one thing I don't understand about the "Korn Ferry Tour", maybe someone can explain it to me. It was said that the top 25 players on the "Korn Ferry Tour", qualify for the PGA Tour. So far so good! The other (Top-75) players compete in the "Korn Ferry Tour Finals" and 25 of them can qualify through that. So 50 in total!? What I don't understand. Do the top 25 players also play there, even though they are already qualified, or is it more like place 26 - 75?

@anaks247 4 месяца назад

Not that it still applies today with all the changes in the past few years, but yes, the top 25 still played with basically “house money”. They have their card secured and are playing for more money and potential higher status like for instance the top Korn ferry guy gets invited to the players championship.
