Last year on the PGA Tour 99 players earned more than $ 1 000 000 for the year in earnings – could this 2008 be the year you have earn a $ 1 000 000 just to keep their card – 125th spot?!!

In 1988 Curtis Strange was the first player to earn over $ 1 Million for the year earing $1,147,644 and Billy Ray Brown pocketed $83,590 for 125 place. Twenty years later a player may need to earn over $ 1 Million just to keep their card – and ironically enough may not even play as much. This year the PGA tour has introduced new cut rules whereby only a maximum 78 players will play the last two days but players will still earn a 'made the cut' status – known more as the financial cut.

An avid golfer goes to see a fortune teller to enquire if there are any golf courses in heaven. "I have good news and bad news" she tells the golfer. "Whats the good news?" asks the golfer "The good news sir is that the courses in heaven are spectacular, without doubt better than anything you have ever seen on earth." "Whats the bad news then?" he asks "You have a tee time at 8:30 tomorrow morning."

Golfer: The doctor says I can't play golf.

Caddy: Oh, he's played with you, too, huh?
