Question: Without looking, what would you guess the 125th best player on the PGA Tour earned last year (125th on the money list)?
My Answer: I know the answer. I'm curious how close the average, non-golf fan comes to guessing correctly.

100 k? I'm sure that I'm way off. This is one of those trick questions where it'll be much more than I'd expect. If I do happen to win, what do I get? 🙂

$250,00.
Enough to afford to make it to the events and still support a spouse and kids at home. Of course, if people this low on the money list are actually sponsored, the income from "winnings" could be much less.

I cheated, but I believe this is the answer:
Tjaart Van der Walt

Too bad you can't edit comments. Mr Van der Walt is 125th this year; you asked for last. And you said don't look, so my bad. Like the bathroom though.

Not a golf fan at all. Never played either (for all the same reasons I never smoked pot.)
My guess... about a half million.
I should be closer than I feel that I am though, because I did have two roommates that were amazing amatuers / collegiate golfers during the last five years.
