Besides actual tournament earnings, what other compensations do the top Pros, male and female, receive? Aside from discs and clothing, which also serve the sponsor, what other perks do the the select few at the top get?
I'm assuming travel expenses and a (fill in the blank, please) per diem, which amounts to what annually?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm kind of a numbers geek and I just looked up McBeth's PGDA official earnings from 2016 and $44,000 seems really paltry for a professional athlete of his caliber. I expect the top females make less than the half of that, so the touring pro math just doesn't seem to make sense. Nearly poverty wages for most. :thmbdown:
