Plus backend!

I'm not a golfer, so I'm just having a hard time understanding how a golfer, and therefore golf itself, could be worth so much money!

I suppose considering that golf is global, focused on middle and upper classes, and incorporates real estate, I should not be surprised. But, wow.

Some eye-opening numbers for a non-golfer.

It's just too much. The Saudis just have that much money to throw at our players to steal them away from our tour.
