Golf is one big group of people who all fall under PGA Umbrella. Males, Female, Amateurs, Professionals, and Seniors.
Golf is big money sport, people e will pay 100k to join Golf Country Club, pricy monthly dues. Up to 450 bucks to play 18 holes at big name course. Pebble Beach, or St. Andrews.
Golf is covered by MSM Sports every weekend there is tournament. Plus there is a Cable 24 x 7 x 366 Golf Channel.
StudybGolf and it’s fan base, and you will understand why on most weekend there is a PGA Tournament a winner Golf Pro brings home over a million bucks for a win.
Not bad for 4-5 days of semi work doing something you like.
Beats being Wal-Mart Greeter.

WTF are you going on about? The golfers you are referencing, are one hundredth, of one percent, of the entire world population! The entire world, isn’t even trying, at pool.
They fear what? Wikipedia powered by Peyote?This is what cowards do ignore, because they fear TRUTH.
Your stream of unconsciousness causes brain damage in the rest of us
Well those who play and get paid real money. Might be small percentage of population.
But no reason to make fun of their big pay days.
Might give some people reason to want to work for big payday, nice home, great life.
All from effort.

a top 50 golfer will make well over one million in prize money annually plus sponsorship money
scaling down from there anybody else in the top 100 is well over 500k
how hard is it to get there remains debatable and a less than scientific estimate at best
in my experience, this kind of stuff gets debated more on boards like this than with actual players in almost all sports where in they simply go for it with no regard to money or seeing their path as a future business plan
we've been conditioned to guys now making hundred of millions in the big sports leagues with press conferences to announce their newly signed hundred million dollar contracts yet most sports really do not offer anything near that

Wow!! You are one deep thinker.
No-It's what smart people so when they don't want to repeatedly read drivel that everyone in the World is aware of or bother with other types of jerks. I am going to add one more cretin now.This is what cowards do ignore, because they fear TRUTH.

If pool had as much money, support, popularity, and youth participation in it as golf, would we even know who SVB is, assuming his skill and talent remained the same? I often wonder what pro pool would look like if it was a marquee sport. How high would the skill level ceiling be pushed? Or would it be roughly the same as it is now and there would just be a lot more guys who are Fargo Rate 800+?
NO BET!!!!
No doubt, every kid that chooses pool does so because that's where the big bucks are and, when reaching pro level, is shocked that they aren't yet living on Park Avenue, in Beverly Hills, or at Hyde Park Corner. Yes, as you suspect, Shane's choice of pool must have been a miscalculation. Or maybe you just don't understand what achievement and success are about.
Money is not the only measure of achievement. Shane just lived a lifelong dream and he's on top of the world. Rather than being sad for him because he's being out-earned by some other athletes like Scheffler or Federer (who made over $90 million in 2021), why not be happy for him. The world is full of elite performers in all walks of life who have less money than we think they deserve. Many of them have had to settle for the respect and admiration of those around them.
Rather than bemoaning his lot in life, be glad for Shane, our new World Pool Champion and a living legend. Don't be sad, be jealous, for Shane has achieved something that awfully few who take pool seriously could dream of in their wildest fantasy.
