Was the ball ever found?

 

Yes
The official started the search time when Sergio was walking across the creek, which was premature. Sergio actually found his ball so could’ve saved a shot.

 

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Unless it was Bubba.
Or P.Reed

 

I think people are severely underestimating how much money Phil has. Between endorsements and earnings, he’s grossed close to $1 billion. Losing 40 million gambling is 4% of that. And I’m sure his accountants found ways to write all that off. It would be like one of us losing maybe $4000, and that’s if we are doing really really well. I think Phil will manage.

 

Because he’s an incredibly rich white guy and the only amount that makes incredibly rich guys happy is more.

 

Do the math though, let’s say he’s taken in $800m for his career, that’s about $40M per year. He’s got expenses, agents, Bones, assts, etc which are likely at least 30%, leaving $560m, then taxes say 40%, leaving $300m, then spread that out each yr, which is $15m per.

Now $15M per yr is huge BUT how much does he spend each yr on food, shelter, entertainment? That’s where a squeeze hits fast.

Just think, when you started your career, how much did you spend each yr? As your pay grew, you would have been wealthier IF you kept the same level of spending, but not many do. Most increase the spending as income rises.

 

Many people increase their spending as their income rises because they start families.

 

Oh that too.

 

It doesn't surprise me. Of all the people that go into making the PGA Tour ... players, caddies, agents, coaches, tournament officials, Tour HQ people ... Bones might have the most class of anyone I've ever dealt with. He will always have a job, either as a caddie or on TV, because no one treats people better than he does.
