Yeah, but including practice day, pro-am, & travel, that's damn near an entire WEEK!!! Poor underpaid golfers! ?
The one thing I will say is that golfers, bowlers, tennis players & other individual sports performers are paid based on performance. Endorsements actually make up most of their income, or it used to. I'm just not sure now, but would expect it's the same.

Tons of corporate money on the PGA tour, it is what it is.
I've never really begrudged sports salaries. If people paid to watch us "normal" folks work, we'd make a lot more. It's Hollywood that drives me nuts with their net worth.

Oh yeah $20M for a movie for the top actors......not sports but amazing.

It's all about entertainment. People will pay for whatever keeps them entertained.

What do professional volleyball players and lacrosse players get paid
Well I happen to have a copy of one of my favorite magazines handy, World of Volley, in the USA I dunno, in the world:
Lacrosse.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
I had to check from Lacrosse Pal:
The Major League Lacrosse (MLL) and the National Lacrosse League (NLL) are the two major lacrosse leagues in the United States, and while the MLL has nine teams, the NLL has 11.
- For NLL, rookies are played a little over $9,000 with the highest paid franchise player in the league making around $34,000 which is less than four times what the rookie player makes.
- As for the MLL, the rookie salary is $7,000, with other players making between $10,000 and $35,000 per season.
For the professional female (women) lacrosse players, there is the United Women’s Lacrosse League (UWLX) which comprises four teams. Women lacrosse players do not get salaries, but the league offers travel stipends. UWLX was launched quite recently in 2016, so perhaps with time, and as the sport grows, women professional players will eventually start earning a salary.

Exactly Mike. I won't revisit if golf is a sport or a skill. But the minions of duffers with delusions of grandeur make sure the top guys in the game get paid royally.
And as far as tennis goes, you have to be an incredibly good player to make any money in the sport.
-
Wow, it certainly is insane. Hmmmmmm, I wonder what football and baseball would be like with players that get paid for what they do and not for what they can possibly do.
A different game entirely or same old same old?

There is no fucking way that a volleyball player gets paid 500,000...anything, dollars, euros. Here anyway. This must be some European League where they don't even have football or baseball.

There you go. If baseball, football, basketball were no more popular than LaCrosse is, then you all would not be complaining about their salaries. All market based. If you don't go to games, or watch, or buy paraphenalia, then they would not be making shite.
When was the last time anyone here went to a professional lacrosse game....or even watched one on TV?
I do know, however, that it is becoming quite popular around here anyway as a high school sport. Maybe in a few years it will take off a bit like soccer has some.
FYI, when I was in school....soccer did NOT exist as an interscholastic sport. It simply was not played. The only sports were: football, baseball, basketball, cross country, wrestling, track, golf, tennis.
Now...you have soccer, volleyball, lacrosse...and who knows what else.
Here is the lacrosse schedule for the school my wife works at, and where my kids went. (Neither played). Note, it is played in the spring:

Thanks for pointing it out Gip that salary = how popular the sport is. Just to piss you off, the three highest paid athletes in the world are all soccer players. Maybe one day the United States will catch up with the rest of the world.
Yeah, way back, Pele (the Jim Brown of soccer) was just a curiosity here.

In a quick look a Turkish female player make 1.2M € and at today's exchange rate of 1.11 would be about $1,332,000.
So there you go basic Econ 101 and that supply and demand thing at work.
Now if you're a 6' 5" LHP in the USA and can accurately throw a 95 mph fastball you'd probably make about $25,000,000/year.
If your name is Arnold or Sylvester and can make things blow up you can make about $20,000,000 for about 3 months work making movies.
Economics and the suckers that make it work.

1) Gay Prostitution makes a lot of money too 2) Soccer players are still a curiosity here
1) Collectively? Probably. Individually there isn't a prostitute in the world hauling down over $100 million.
2) Only in your aged mind Gipper. Some old fuddy duddies like you missed (and are missing) the boat... NBCSN is broadcasting plenty of the Premier League. Of course, you probably don't know what that is, and ESPN is starting to put MLS on. With the XFL starting up, I have a suggestion that would 100% guarantee the post Luck Colts (and any other NFL team) wouldn't tank. Do it the soccer way- the bottom two teams in the standings get shipped off to the XFL.
I've said it before- the anti soccer goofs have their collective heads up their asses to not realize what's inevitable here in the States. The big soccer wave is coming in- whether you like it or not- just get used to the idea. Probably more kids playing soccer now than football, and when they get old enough I wouldn't doubt watching soccer on TV is going to be their preferred sport. Soccer is the unquestioned #1 sport in the world, and that's not even debatable. The world wide viewership for the men's World Cup Final dwarfs TV ratings for the Super Bowl.
BTW- the ever increasing salaries in Major League baseball aren't sustainable. Ratings go down, TV revenue goes down right along with it.

Ok speaking about the free enterprise system:
Welcome to Money Diaries, where we're tackling what might be the last taboo facing modern working women: money. We're asking millennials how they spend their hard-earned money during a seven-day period — and we're tracking every last dollar.Today: A legal sex worker in Nevada, who recovered from an appendix surgery last year and has booked a $1 million this year.Occupation: Legal Sex Worker
Industry: Sex Work
Age: 20s
Location: Mound House, NV
Salary: It varies. I typically bring in mid-six figures. My first year, I booked $511,000, pocketing half of that as my income pre-expenses. The house takes 50% of whatever I book. My second year, I booked $712,000, and I’m on track to book $1.2 million for 2018
