what lol? Inflation isn't "down". It's also compounded for multiple years and you have base effects. Plus it's a basket of goods and so yes tariffs have increased prices for import and there is inflation on shoes caused by normal inflationary pressures + tariffs. It may not entirely explain the insane price of these shoes but to say it has no effect is a weird thing to say.

OK so that's fine...he asked for it so he could also benefit and they said no. The point is some on here acting like he needs them and was a huge a hole about it when he was pretty polite about the whole situation and is making a ton of money kind of doing what pga players do, which is traveling around and playing golf as a career.

He's making way more than $20,000 a month lol he has sponsorships, does ads and is involved in owning his own clothing line. You can think it's dumb, but playing in this event helps the tour way more than it helps him financially. Knowing the tour he'd play and they wouldn't even show any of his shots because they're so out to lunch. Literally grant doing a video at that course and posting to youtube would generate more views than probably the whole viewership of the tournament for the week on TV. I barely watch youtube golf anymore but it's just reality that if they let him play a tournament and everyone wants to see him play, and they won't show him hardly at all on TV, why not find a way to mutually benefit if it's possible.
