Purses are so big that it really makes it easy to be complacent.

Don't see too many of the tour players chatting up the cart girl between shots or making calls on their handphones...these are serious players who have earned the right to compete for the top prize money...I see players scrapping for the relatively small Asian Tour purses on TV here week in and week out...they are just not as good as PGA players in length, accuracy or putting...when PGA players join the field they outclass the competiton (see the recent Singapore Open with Scott and Els in a playoff, the only two able to reach a par 5 in two all week, and they both did so easily)...
Pro golf is not about bonding, it is about making money...it is what they do for a living and the best money can be made on the PGA tour therefore attracting and maintaining the top in golf talent which is why I (and millions of others) enjoy watching PGA events over any other...
