[RC] The Presidents Cup Purse - Tom Sites

Hello,  I was curious as to the purse money offered in the Presidents Cup.  I read its 1.5 something, but how does that relate to US $$?  I'm also curious as to how you can compete in an event w/ considerable monetary and value objects and still consider oneself an amateur in the Olympic fashion.  I could never figure out how the basketball players and track and field folks could do it either.  It seems if you run in the Kentucky Derby w/ comparable purses you'd have to be a professional as i doubt they would allow amateurs to race.  Some things in life i doubt i'll ever understand.  ts
