How much money would a golfer make if he shot even par in every event on the either the PGA or Nationwide tour

Question

I am more interested in a number than whether or not he would make the cut. Even par will get you into quite a few tournaments. Obviously your not going to get into majors and such if you only shoot par.

Answer 1

on the PGA he probably wouldnt make the cut and on the nationwide probably a few hundred if he was lucky

i had a friend that made 6 cuts on the nationwide tour and only earned £38000 (not that good is it for 6 cuts?)

yea where he finished was a real acheviment but i mean that the money isnt that good considering where he finished,

because if he done that on the PGA then he would have made a lot more cash

Answer 2

Most tournaments they would not make the cut.  No cuts means no invites to the majors, which are the only tournaments where par can win.

Answer 3

depends on the year. I researched it one year and you would have won two tournaments and  placed in the top ten 4 times.

which would have placed you in the top thirty for the year

easier said than done

Answer 4

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Answer 5

it doesn't matter if he shot even par you need to be high on the leaderboard to make plenty money and i mean PLENTY money

Answer 6

Without going to every leaderboard this is an off-the-cuff analysis.  Taking the three players that have averaged 72s (par) for their first two rounds (average of all 1stn & 2nd rounds) all year (2007).  The income average was 580K.  Top was 1Mil, bottom was 215K.  

The three players meeting this spec were R Goosen, R Palmer and D Stiles.  

I do somewhat agree that a player that shot par on EVERY round would probably win one or two tournaments a year (and guess what, it would also probably include one major.)  They also would miss a lot of cuts on the big resort courses and those tourney that the guys simply go low.
