Where to next

The rest of the golf money

Golf tournament prize money carries the roll of honour for every event we hold, and golf earnings ranks the players by what they have won across their careers. Where a field is paid for every round it survives rather than once at the end, see Champions League prize money, and for a single event that pays a whole field on one night, World Championship darts prize money.
