There is no minimum they have to play because they could get injured or something.

Taylormade such a lie taylormade is no where close to the marketing of nike. the only thing taylormade is is leading on i drivers and woods. nike right now is out marketing taylormade by almost 5 percent. and callway is leading the putters and titleist is leading on wedges and also in balls. and mizuno has the best rated irons right now.

There are portaloos or portapotties or whatever they are called, these are located out of sight and the players use them when they are walking from a green to the next tee. In the world matchplay at Wentworth in 2004 Sergio Garcia simply popped into the trees to go.

Phil Mickelson is completely right handed - he simply learned to play golf left handed. He is right handed in everything else in life - except golf!!!!!!

He has a home in South Africa, as well as one in Jupiter Island, Florida.

Clubs such as drivers and wood may be replaced only one a season or so, because you can build up a feel with a certain wood that you like and want to keep. The irons would probably last a season or two. Wedges are replaced regularly as the players want to get the most spin, and the grooves wear out easily. Putters again are a feel club so the players only change when it is not going well. Tiger Woods has used hit Scotty Cameron for more than 10 years.

There is no minimum age, these are public events! just be sure that if you bring a child, the child is well mannered in public,i.e. no crying or screaming, running around unattended, picking up golf balls ect. If one is in doubt about the temperment of the child, walk to a bathroom away from the course and sort it out.

around $300-$500 but will decrease later

well obviously if you are in last place, you don't make the cut! but if you made the cut and you are in last place, then you get about 1,000 dollars.

They have to pay taxes.

only about 3% of players who are drafted will play a day at the major league level, so even less will actually have a career in the big leagues. About 80-90% of professional players never make it above class-A in the minor-leagues.

There are currently 287 active players on the PGA Tour that have their tour card. There are also countless thousands of club professionals around the country.

No major touring pro (male) golfer has come out officially. Golf is a relatively conservative milieu (at least for the men). Statistically, though, it's highly unlikely that no pro golfers are gay; any who are gay simply keep their private lives private. Some of the most high-profile players would probably have difficulty hiding an active gay sex life, but the vast majority of tour members don't have constant scrutiny.

Professional Caddies are salaried at $1,000 per week plus 5% of the tournament purse, 7% of a top 10 and 10% for a victory. This amounts to a heft paycheck.

Tony Navarro : $442, 548 (June 2006 to June 2007)

Allistair Matheson: $337,888

Damon Green started out as a pro, but became a caddy seeking an increase in pay. His 2006/7 season earned him $367,716; more than his 1994/5 season as a pro golfer.

Steve Williams, caddy for Tiger Woods made an incredible $1.27 million last year. He has been Tiger's caddy since 1999, and recently received a $140,000 Ford GT as a tip. Not bad for an afternoon of work.

We must remember, however, that caddies are responsible for their own lodging expenses; and now that golf is international, that can add up quickly. It's estimated that caddies spend 25% of their earnings on lodging expenses. Even so, they are making a lot of money.

Even non pro caddies can make over $1000 per week, as standard tips can be $50 or $100 per round per bag; considering TPC Sawgrass is $350 to play or one can pay over $500 to play Shadow Creek.

This kind of match play bracket is typical of match play championships such as the U.S. Amateur or U.S. Public Links Championship. To qualify for match play, players must first compete in a preliminary stroke play competition (after qualifying through local and sectional rounds). The top 64 scores (playoffs for final spots) are entered into the first round of match play.

Metal woods came out around the late 80's early 90's

Professional golfers wouldn't use a new ball that often, but they would change a ball as soon as there is any imperfection on the ball they are using, a scuff or small cut. They would probably go through about 6 a round. Ernie Els believes there is only 1 birdie in each golf ball.
