Too Bad about Jesper.....had a shot but couldn't finish. Is Bateman a first time winner?

Timm....very happy to see Steve Marino (former UVa golfer) have another top 10 finish this week. That should put him over $1 million for the year. Very nice rookie season thus far.

Wasn't it up to about 10 years ago, that winning 1 Million in a whole season was a big deal? Is Tiger the sole cause of purses sky-rocketing?

Pete, I remember when Curtis Strange was the first player to break $1 million in a single season. That was 1988. Once Tiger came on the scene in 96-97 and the new TV contracts were signed, the purses exploded. Since 1988 the number of players that have earned over $1 million in a single season. 1988 - 1 1989 - 2 1990 - 2 1991 - 0 1992 - 4 1993 - 5 1994 - 6 1995 - 9 1996 - 9 Let the boom begin 1997 (Tigers first full year) - 18 1998 - 26 1999 - 36 2000 - 45 2001 - 55 2002 - 61 2003 - 72 2004 - 77 2005 - 78 2006 - 93 2007 - 50 players through the mid point of the season. I know one thing, if I was playing the Tour, I would be sending Tiger a thank you note every week.
