*A comprehensive player compensation plan that will guarantee $500,000 per year to exempt players applied to their earnings

*The addition of four more tournaments with elevated purses in addition to the 12 that were announced in June

*Doubling the number of players and amount of money for the Player Impact Program, which measures player engagement across media platforms.

*”Earnings Assurance Program,” where rookies will receive the $500,000 upfront. If veterans fall below $500,000 in earnings, the Tour will compensate them to make up the difference.

*The PIP rankings, which is really important going forward, will go from 10 to 20 players and earnings from $50 million to $100 million, retroactive to this season.

*There will be a $5,000 travel expense per tournament for non-exempt players who miss cuts, a two-year exemption for being among the top-30 players on the FedEx Cup points list who make it to the Tour Championships and Life membership awarded to players who win 20 or more tournaments. With that coming into play, it removes the 15 years of service rule.

    In the grand pattern of things you’ll get a B+ just for effort and hard work. Where you lost me personally was on the particulars. You know, as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be more correct in this article. Having said that, allow me say to you what exactly did deliver the results. The article (parts of it) is actually very persuasive which is most likely why I am taking the effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, even though I can easily see a leaps in reason you make, I am not really sure of exactly how you appear to unite your details which produce the conclusion. For the moment I will, no doubt yield to your issue however trust in the near future you actually connect your dots much better.
