Tom Hoge Won Nearly $1.5M At TPC Sawgrass This Weekend and Flew Home In Coach

I spent 500 grand in 3 months a few years ago. I totally understand. Plus maybe no room to upgrade.

Hoge doesn't take home the full $1.3 million. Caddy gets about 8%, agent 20%, coach, trainer, expenses 5%. And taxes 45%. So Hoge nets $479k. Still great for a week's work, but there are a lot of hands in that cookie jar.

only the mega players fly private jets, usually paid for by their sponsors. Not every Tour card member flies on a Gulf Stream, in fact, few of them do.

At least it's not SWA. That looks like a Delta seat which is a step up in and of itself.

And of course has to let everyone know he did

Probably booked his flight to the event as a roundtrip ticket.
After taxes and caddy fees, this probably isn't the windfall it seems. It's very expensive to play on tour, and only a handful of payers make jet-set money. This just shows how smart he is with his money.
