Quote from flytiger:
Gene Sarazen spoke of winning the 1922 US OPEN. Although the prize money was $200, he knew the value of the win. He got the Wheaties box, and other indorsements. The 20's were the go go twenties with plenty of dough splashing around.
I don't how marketable Carbrera is, but you would think if an American won it, it would be the prize money, probably over 1.5mm, and I'd bet 10mm in endorsements
These knucklehead announcers - "Oh Michelle Wie shouldn't be out here, she's not ready...." What bull shit. She's got 10 mm in the bank, and now she has a hurt wrist. If she didn't turn Pro, she'd have a hurt wrist.
First, make your nut. Then you can fart around and be the best ever. I would think you'd play a little better if your bills were paid.
I don't know how marketable a guy like Cabrera will be, but it was a great day for Ping. I bet those G5 drivers were flying off the shelf after some of the blasts he hit.
As for Wie, I agree completely.
