Rules are rules but that has to be toughSo, the amateur, Sam Bennett, gets no prize money, even if he wins.
Finish 20th and the money will come. He is a 5th year senior- he is turning pro soon and will make money regardless of where he finishes this weekend.If he wins the money will come. Finish third and the money will come.
He ain't winning.So, the amateur, Sam Bennett, gets no prize money, even if he wins.
Is that masters specific? I thought if amateurs wanted they could take their prize money and just lose their amateur status.So, the amateur, Sam Bennett, gets no prize money, even if he wins.
He could’ve turned pro before the tournament. Not sure if he can turn pro right at the end and get the money or not.Is that masters specific? I thought if amateurs wanted they could take their prize money and just lose their amateur status.
No he can’t. He actually turned down going pro months ago just so he could play in the masters since he qualified as an amateur. So he has to compete as an amateur since he qualified as an amateur. But he has set himself up, marketing wise, that he should have a lot of sponsorship deals once he does turn pro.He could’ve turned pro before the tournament. Not sure if he can turn pro right at the end and get the money or not.
What you got against Brooks?I’m on anyone but Brooks train at this point. But the way he’s playing, I’m not sure anyone can catch him
For one thing, his caddie cheated on Thursday which should have been a 2 stroke penalty.What you got against Brooks?
Do you work for the PGA, or have any friends or relatives that do?For one thing, his caddie cheated on Thursday which should have been a 2 stroke penalty.
I think he finished +3., and was the cut line.How does Tiger make the cut at a +9 ?
I don’t understand how he continues on over like a dozen or so guys at +6 +7 +8
Why do the talking heads still drool over a washed up shell of a golfer?
Because he made the cut after Friday. That’s how golf works.How does Tiger make the cut at a +9 ?

Ok. I saw what I thought was the cut line stroke totalsBecause he made the cut after Friday. That’s how golf works.
The Masters takes just the top 50 golfers plus ties. Tiger was on the cut line on the dot.Ok. I saw what I thought was the cut line stroke totals
I don’t follow golf as closely as you guys
He cannot.He could’ve turned pro before the tournament. Not sure if he can turn pro right at the end and get the money or not.
Cut happens after 36 holes. Usually on Friday.Because he made the cut after Friday. That’s how golf works.
Yes I know. Thought they all finished on Friday.Cut happens after 36 holes. Usually on Friday.
Weather pushed it back to finishing up 36 on Saturday.
He was +3 at the end of 36
Honestly, I’m not really sure what it is. I’ve just never really cared for him that much.What you got against Brooks?
He’s a dick. Always has been.Honestly, I’m not really sure what it is. I’ve just never really cared for him that much.
I thought I remembered a story about a college golfer foregoing his last year of college eligibility so he could accept his us open prize money, but I can’t find it googling so maybe I just dreamed that.No he can’t. He actually turned down going pro months ago just so he could play in the masters since he qualified as an amateur. So he has to compete as an amateur since he qualified as an amateur. But he has set himself up, marketing wise, that he should have a lot of sponsorship deals once he does turn pro.
No, as others have said, he entered the tournament as an amateur and is not eligible for any prize money no matter what. The purse will be distributed to the pro players as though he wasn't there. If he finishes third, the fourth place pro will take home 3rd place money.1) Amateur can forego amateur status and accept the prize money. He wouldn’t be able to compete for TAMU anymore, though. It’s always been this way.
He gained some points with me by needling that crybaby douche Bryson DeChambeau.He’s a dick. Always has been.
Yeah. Most elite golfers are pricks.Talk **** about how ****** a person Tiger is. Now, this is an Official Golf Thread. Don't forget Lefty and Greg Norman.

Without his amateur status he wouldn't even be playing this weekend at Augusta.He could’ve turned pro before the tournament. Not sure if he can turn pro right at the end and get the money or not.
And he is making money this week....he is covered with Sponsors logos. I didn't know the USGA had gotten on board with amateur NIL money.Without his amateur status he wouldn't even be playing this weekend at Augusta.
I mean realistically, this is probably the most legit Name Image Likeness money in all of sports. He is getting paid to advertise products because of his very public image. Not like a 5 star QB that is just getting money to go play at a school.And he is making money this week....he is covered with Sponsors logos.

I wouldn't say "the most legit in all of sports", but definitely more legit than what is currently happening in college sports. I read this morning that he only wears the logos in professional events.I mean realistically, this is probably the most legit Name Image Likeness money in all of sports.
