Q-School Fees The Same, Purse Goes Down
/The rationale is to keep those away with no chance to ever be a tour player, but it seems that even though PGA Tour cards are no longer part of Q-School, Commissioner Blankfein isn't budging on the entry fees while cutting the winner's check from $50k to $25k.
Hey, he has an army of VPs to overpay.
''Right now, we continue to have an entry fee at the same level,'' said Andy Pazder, the tour's chief of operations. ''One of the factors in setting that is making sure only the high-caliber player enters Q-School who legitimately is competitive at a high level. In some ways, we're making a player in his mind ask himself if his game is ready to make this kind of commitment.''
