Golf is a hot property, so corporate America is finding it advantageous to use the game as a vehicle to sell its products, and television networks are anxious to take every opportunity to telecast golf. Therefore, we're fortunate enough to be playing for a lot of money. People like to put the measuring stick on athletes and compare one with the other. All of us on the PGA and Senior PGA Tours make a wonderful living. I just hope all the top players will keep their motivation and continue to play as much as they always have.
Fans deserve it.
Some people say golfers are some of the most underpaid professional athletes. No, I don't. A lot of athletes aren't paid as well as we are. But there are a lot of wonderful athletes in other sports who aren't paid nearly as well as we are. Yes, we are finally doing very nicely thanks to corporate America and thanks to the television contracts.
