Anyone else think it's odd that this is a Major?

With a $6000 prize for first place, he could probably place in the top 5 and still make it worth while spending the cash to head to Australia. The kid is definitely sponsored by someone
Can there anyone confirm- What Wysocki is actually throwing?
Good question... and who paid to fly him out there?

Do you know how much it costs to travel to Perth? You need to place top 3 to break even on travel expenses.
Yikes! Maybe PDGA and the player's sponsors ponied up the plane tickets just to have a few top players at Aussie's first major? They were also doing pro seminars as well, so i could see it happening
PDGA probably made their corporate jet available to the top pros.
If he can past customs on the way back in. LA Ports can get backed up REALLY easily.I think Downes from the PDGA office hopped a freighter from LA about three weeks ago to save money and just arrived in Perth to help with event staging and scoring. Another ship should get him back in time for the Memorial.

Might be easier to disembark in Mexico then make the crossing?
we have already discussed this

I must have missed that dialogue. Please point it out to me . Thank you.
It wouldn't be 4k or 5k unless you flew out of a local airport. If you do a short bus ride to an international airport the ticket would run you about 1800-2000 without any special deal. Stay for 4-5 days in a local hotel probably 60-70 a night plus food. Maybe around 3k if you get a rental car on top of that. My trip I'm hoping to take to Korean won't even be close to 5K and I'm planning on being there for almost a month.
A bus trip to the nearest international airport here (6hrs) was only $25 both ways
