Just some rough, silly numbers: assume he plays 30 events per year. Assume 6 days per event: 4 in competition and 2 for practice. Now assume for giggles that he goes all full Ritz-Carlton mode for each of those nights ($400/night), even though he probably has some deals worked out along the way over the course of the year with other arrangements. Lodging, using those assumptions, comes in at $72k per year.
Assuming he's always buying his food, which probably isn't realistic, and assuming he's not in full Xavier mode when it comes to alcohol while on tour duty, the food bill might be half that figure, which, frankly, is a lot of food on average -- not steakhouses every night, but not fast food all the time, either.
Travel? Who knows. Does he share NetJets with others? Does he have a nice $3mm motorhome he tools around in? Does he simply do commercial first class for the Hawaii and west coast stuff and the Florida swing?
I believe it is safe to say that, even after compensating his caddy handsomely, he is banking a lot of his income, after getting eaten alive by taxes.

Kokrak with an even par 70 this morning.
I am rooting for him, Hovland (+3300), Spieth top ten (+190), Grace top ten (+550), Cink (+13000), and Hoffman top ten (+900).
Like Rory this week too a lot so I’m sure he’ll miss cut.

Would it kill the Golf Channel to show one of his shots occasionally?
