WPBA Purses & Payouts

[Johnnyt]

Anyone know why the WPBA doesn't post the purse and payouts for their touraments anymore? Did the purse drop? I know they use a point system now instead of the money for rankings. Johnnyt

Strategic decision to help get sponsor $

In approaching sponsors they evidently had difficulty attracting $ because the sponsors could easily look online and see how much prize money each player earned. Evidently, by going on points they can avoid the trap of having to explain why the earnings are so low and potentially get more lucrative sponsorships.

I think I read it in a Kim White interview, but I'm not certain.

Thank you very much. Johnnyt

I think I read somewhere that Xiao-Ting Pan has a Prada purse from Bergdorf Goodman. It didn't say what she paid out for it.
