Jordan Spieth set one year earning records on the PGA Tour this year. He won the Tour Championship and apart from that he won two Majors. Just so that you understand how much money is involved in golf, and how ridiculous by comparison the earnings of cricketers and rugby players in South Africa look, Jordan earned $22 million during the season. Obviously, he will receive tens of millions more in sponsorships. No golfer has ever before won such an amount in just one year, and of course the year is not over, so he may, through appearance fees and playing in some other tournaments, still earn more. To put that in South African terms, and it is hard with our fluctuating currency which is generally on a downward trend, that R308 million was earned in one year from golf. That is undoubtedly more than the whole Springbok team plus coaches and assistant staff added together.

It must be nice to have R308 million right now lol. I see how difficult it is to become really good at golf. Especially when the tournaments come around... Well done to Jordan Spieth though, I've seen his game and he really is good.
