I don't begrudge any athlete any money he/she can get from the team owners or from the tour. The same way I don't begrudge any money your employer may pay you.
I know the more athletes get paid the more it costs me to attend and/or support the team. When that price becomes too steep I have a decision to make. A decision I've already made in several of the professional sports. I'll watch on TV (which I still have to pay for) but attending in person gets less frequent every year. Can I afford to attend? Fortunately, yes, but I refuse to pay top dollar for mediocre performance.
A ticket to the Buick Open is still only $25.00 and for a day of watching players play and practice I think it's still the
best value in sports.
