Nick Dunlap won’t receive his 1.2 million prize pot for winning a PJ Tour event and here’s why after winning the American Express title the 20-year-old has become the first amateur to win a PGA Tour event since Phil Mickelson in 1991 but the reason why he won’t be
Going home with the prize money is because he’s still an amateur which means the winnings will go to the runner up Christian Biden how dup has been invited to turn professional but has to decide in the next 30 days and if he does will still be eligible for the
Master’s US Open and Open Championship after his US amateur Championship Victory last year which must be a bit of sweet moment for him after missing out on becoming a millionaire would you feel hard done by if you didn’t receive the 1.2 million pound prize pop

Umm. He coulda turned pro before the event. This is bolux.
What kinda dumbass rules are these
That is brutal… As a good human being i would give him at least 450k and you still had 750k!
That's what happens as an am. Turn pro fella and win again, you'd be crazy not to.
1.2 million will be nothing compared to what he will make over his career. I don't think he will be stressing, infact theenisnt any rush to become pro. He just needs to do it when the timing is right for him
