Yes, your correct. It's the same in others sports---Football, baseball, basketball, etc. Corporate sponsors and television they pay the players those millions. Although, two grandchildren and decent seats can set you back $500.00 for just one baseball game.
The golfing experience exception is the Masters Golf Tournment. It's all about the "patrons" at the Masters---if you can get tickets. In short, no corporate stands. We were fortunate to mark the Masters off our bucket list last year---not a practice round but the real Tournment.
No doubt the best seat for most any event is your television set in your family room. Golf is "struggling" to find more participation----these changes I've seen over the last 10-15 years at Bay Hill and other golf tournments don't help IMHO.
