Upcoming 3M regular event is $8.4m. I'm guessing he meant the upcoming (September) BMW PGA Championship, which had a purse of 9mil last year.

JohnGibson Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 1 hour ago, Hawkeye77 said: What standards are those? It's only shy by $1m of being the highest purse on the DP World Tour and multiples more than many other DP World events. My bad, when I looked at the field I thought it may have been one of those $20M signature events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternRacing Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Ahh, that one week a year we get to hear the word Renaissance mispronounced over and over and over again.

Sometimes they don't even need vowels (thx for that GenZ). Or for that matter, words. What is the ultimate, almost inevitable end of the trend?

caniac6 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I’m sorry to say I’m a bit disappointed to turn it on, and see beautiful weather. I don’t want it ugly, but some grey sky, a little wind, and guys wearing sweaters was what I was expecting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
