pdb1: Real income to WGT comes from ball usage (27 cr) and CC members buying passes
Sorry, no, not necessarily. It's an accounting thing. Real income to WGT is in the form of $$ from members buying credits, $$ from sponsors, $$ from Supersonic or Trial Pay or Peanut Labs etc due to members watching ads and taking surveys or offers, $$ from club manufacturers for advertising there clubs on WGT to the millions of real golfers here, and $$ from the ad agencies supplying the banner ads viewed by the members.
If a member was given credits by WGT for placing in a tournament or being promoted, there's no cost to WGT and no revenue to WGT when those credits are used.
Top players accumulate hundreds of thousands of credits with no out-of-pocket expense. Therefore, when they buy balls or passes, no real revenue to WGT.
