Land of the free tax prize money, still find that funny.
Anyway, difference between gold and tennis is there are a lot more tournaments with equal or greater prize pool. It's much easier for a ranked outside to finish a lot higher too so over all isn't really a fair comparisment. Like tommy fleetwoood whose now ranked #21 finished fourth in the US. For a number 20 in tennis to get there they'd have to go through 2 very tough players who'll they'll be a major dog against.
