So
in terms of value was the $50,000 prize in 1974 about the same as
today’s $4.5 million or not ?? The real reason prize money in Golf has
skyrocketed because Tiger Woods took the game mainstream 
before the Tiger era many people had little interest in golf back then
but after watching him play and transforming opinions more and more
people fell in love with the sport. Without Tiger, golf might have
remained a niche game of draconian rules for the better off… to coin the phrase he really did ‘move the needle’ in every way ! What do you think ?
