If you finished 50th in all 4 majors, you could still make a solid living, earning almost 100k. Not bad.

To concerned golfer: it was rather nice not to have Tiger prancing around as the leader and then the winner. In fact, I would have shut off the tv had Tiger been anywhere close to winning. It is pleasant watching without Tiger glowering, spitting, swearing and showing his temper at every little mis-step. Get lost Tiger!
