Golf competition notes

[SiteWolf]

OK, so this week is the Tour Championship....which means a couple things...

One....it's an unusually large payout (winner gets $18mil) because it's a purse not just based on this tournament.......so we've used an alternate 'normal' purse for divi purposes here.

Two....it's the end of the Tour year, the last few years meaning our 2nd half competition ended after this tournament.........BUT, are they changing back to a calendar year season? By pgatour.com it doesn't appear so since the 2022-3 schedule shows next week thru next year's Tour Championship as the season.

Anyway, the payout we'd used was based on a $15mil purse and typical split from there, winner getting like 2mil (trying to search our forums, but the search is running very slooooooooowww.

Last year, actually, we used a $10mil purse....they went up a bit this year, we can, too...
....so the below is based on a $12mil purse, giving us a breakdown that looks like this:

1 20.48% $2,457,600
2 12.40% $1,488,000
3 7.85% $942,000
4 5.58% $669,600
5 4.67% $560,400
6 4.13% $495,600
7 3.84% $460,800
8 3.56% $427,200
9 3.33% $399,600
10 3.10% $372,000
11 2.87% $344,400
12 2.65% $318,000
13 2.42% $290,400
14 2.19% $262,800
15 2.08% $249,600
16 1.96% $235,200
17 1.85% $222,000
18 1.74% $208,800
19 1.62% $194,400
20 1.51% $181,200
21 1.39% $166,800
22 1.28% $153,600
23 1.19% $142,800
24 1.10% $132,000
25 1.01% $121,200
26 0.92% $110,400
27 0.88% $105,600
28 0.85% $102,000
29 0.81% $97,200
30 0.78% $93,600

Sound fair?
The above being this week's payout for divi purposes, this week ending the 2022 2nd half competition, and next week starting the 2023 1st half.

Not to stir any pot but....last week's purse was 15 mil.

Last week's purse paid more golfers, too....but, it's the championship, so I have no issue with going to a $15mil purse....THAT breakdown would then be:

2 12.40% $1,860,000
3 7.85% $1,177,500
