Salaries for professional golfers vary widely based on the number of tournaments they enter and win and the number of endorsements/sponsors they have.
Tiger Woods, the highest paid athlete in the world, earned $110 million from 2008 to 2009 from both tournament earnings and sponsorships.
It all depends how good they are and how successful they become. Consider Tiger Woods, in his last full season, 2007, his on course earnings were over $22 million and his sponsorships and endorsements were around $100 million. A decent player who wins maybe one or two tournaments a year would earn around $5 million dollars on course and sponsorships and endorsements could be (depending on status and marketability) $10-40 million. A struggling tour pro would make around $5,000-10,000 for a missed cut, $40,000-100,000 for a good finish, maybe as little as $500,000 for the season. Lesser known pros would get small endorsements $250,000 or so p.a.
A club pro would earn, depending on club size and status could earn $50,000 upwards per annum. Depends if they give lessons or not and other factors.
nearly $3.2 million
Of course the golfer pays an agreed upon for the caddie even if the golfer does not make the cut, normally expenses and $1000, however if the golfer makes the cut , an agreed percentage of the winning purse is awarded to the caddy.
