Golf fees

[biggerseagar]

After watching the US Open this weekend congrats to Web Simpson. Just won 1,440,000 bucks for his efforts.

My question is what are the entry fees that theses pros have to pay to play theses tournaments?

Not that I want start playing golf....that would be too funny to watch .....really

[seapuppy]

I generally don't watch golf only cuz I extremely suck at the sport.......so...in reality I can't tell you what is what and who pays who.....other than they get a ridiculous amount of money to play.....

I believe their sponsors pay the entry fee.

How much is the 20 dollar question?

"Google" says.... In 2011, the entry fee was $150.

But that sounds kinda low to me but, I'm not a golfer, I play Pool. Our US Open 9 Ball Championships fee is $500.
