The point is that these people shouldn't be paid at all. Do you like it when golf and/or tennis tournaments pay certain talented well-known golfers or tennis players to play the game ? I don't. If they're so good, why can't they pay their own way ?

Tiger Woods makes millions from appearance fees at international tournaments and happens to show up at all of the PGA events sponsored by Buick, with whom he has an endorsement deal.

FTP does endorsement deals with pros because they believe it makes them money by bringing in new customers. One way that we can test this by seeing if the presence of a few names in red bumps up the attendence for regular scheduled tournaments.

Anecdotally, I think that the player that the fish have schooled to play with in the same tournament the most has probably been Clonie Gowen.
