Question

Do members of the PGA pay entrance fees to the tournaments and if so how much?

Answer 1

Yes, they do.  

Back in the early 90's it was something like $100 per PGA tournament.  And each player had to pony up the dough himself, no exceptions.  A hundred bucks is nothing to these guys, even back then.  I'm sure it has increased somewhat since then, but it's mostly the principal of the entry fee that makes it a professional tournament.

An invitational, like the Masters or Bay Hill might be a little different, however.

Answer 2

No

Answer 3

The only guys that pay a fee are the Monday qualifiers. They pay $400.

Answer 4

yes depending on the tournament

Answer 5

Yes they do and it varies by tournament.
