The amount of sponsors exemptions is limited per event, and you would only see them in the smaller events, never a major.

Driver

Is the PGA Senior tour the same as the Masters?
A "PGA tournament" is any tournament on the PGA Tour while the Masters is a specific single tournament.
That said, the PGA Championship is a single event which is often referred to as "The PGA Tournament". The PGA Championship is played at a different site in the US from year to year - although several courses have hosted the Championship more than once. Some of the courses have been private clubs while others have been public clubs. The Masters is ALWAYS played at Augusta National Golf Club, a private club. Membership at Augusta National Golf Club is strictly by invitation; there is no application process.
Both tournaments are by invitation only, but the PGA does not explicitly invite any amateurs while the Masters invites both professionals and winners of amateur tornaments. The only way for an amateur to guarantee an invitation to the PGA Championship would be to win one of the other PGA majors - i.e. the Masters, the US Open, or the Open Championship. Realistically, if an amateur were to win the British Open they would probably also garner an invitation to the PGA Championship.
Players can carry their own bags although they choose not to as it puts strain on their back and shoulder muscles. However, they can only have one caddy at a time.

If a golfer on the mens PGA tour finished each tournament at par how much would he have earned?
Don't know because it isn't a matter of whether he made par or not, it is how he does compared to all the other players. If you have the time to look up all of the tournaments and the payouts, you can figure it, but it would take a lot of work!
If he finished at par at the 2007 US Open, he would have won!
There was an article on this a few months back in one of the golf mags. If a player always shot par he would do pretty poorly on the PGA tour (I can't exactly remember but he would keep his card and finish abot 110th I seem to recall) However, in the Majors he would be a stud and consistantly finish in the top 5-10 and win a few!
ANSWER:
Regardless of having a par or not, the only thing matter is to win above all players.
