    The Open-Spoiler Alert

    Golf is ok but we always moan at footballers for the money they get - 1 million is a tad much for a game of golf I feel!

    Well done Rory though

    The way I see it is that individual sports like golf or tennis etc is essentially pay-for-performance.

    As we know footballers get paid whether or not the team wins and whether or not individual performances meet expectations.

    Just my 2 centavos

    That's because it's a team performance though.

    Yep. And if the team don't perform they still get paid.

    So do the golfers - no difference. They don't get as much as the winner but still get a nice little earner. For coming last (70th) it's £12,400

    Footballers get less if they lose. Also golfers don't often get broken legs or even bitten by fellow players!
