$100K is probably a high estimate for a N'Wide player. Also, most of their stops have Host Families for the players.
30 tourneys year
Hotel: 130/nt * 7 nights = $1K (Total $30,000)
Airfare: $400 ($12,000)
Meals: b'fast & lunch provided. dinner $30/nt = $180 ($5,400)
Caddy: $500 min/wk (assuming no top 10's or better) $15,000
Rought estimate: $63,000
Host families would reduce the hotel & dinners. But, you gotta figure some decent checks causing the Caddy fee to go up, right?
