The 2010 tourĀ  schedule has been released and there aren’t many changes from last year. There are just minor adjustments and the purse money is stiil about the same as it was in 2009. The purses shown in the schedule are those from 2009. It will be interesting to see what actually is paid out in each event. It’s a safe bet that, given the present US economy, the purses will be somewhat reduced.
