Edusport Travel and Tours’ Post

I'm a member of the the Golf Power Poll panel and this month the questions were about money in golf. One of the questions was concerning whether the vast amount of money 🤑 currently in professional golf is having an adverse effect on fans' interest - i.e., are fans actually turning off as purses astronomically increase? In my case, yes. And, according to the Power Poll results I am not alone in this opinion. Personally, I am less than excited about the 'Signature' events - a few are fine, but 8 is way too many - especially in this schedule shorten #Olympic year. Nick Dunlap winning twice on the PGA TOUR - once as an amateur - emphasizes the fact that ANYONE in the field can win and I (along with the players ranked 51-125/150) would like to see the return to more full field events - WITH more of the Top 50 in those fields. Or as a compromise to the 'elephant in the room' as the only time that LIV's top players now play against PGA TOUR & DP World Tour is the Majors – take 4 of those 8 Signature events and have 1/2 the field be LIV Golf players and half PGA Tour/ DP World Tour players with full OGWR points & the same purses (with the Public Investment Fund (PIF) contributing) so there starts to be some true relevance on who the best players actually are. Just a thought - Golf is truly a global game played by millions who love it - let's embrace and celebrate it, instead of fighting amongst the professional elite.

Why It Matters

Olympic Record for the Men's 400m Individual Medley, clocking in at 4:02:95 according to Olympics.com. Obviously, the French are ecstatic, but the Americans are also cheering – the French swimming prodigy resides in the U.S. and trains with Bob Bowman, who swimming aficionados will recognize as the man who coached Michael Phelps. Now, I’m not a swimmer or a coach, and if I did my mental math correctly, last night Mr. Marchand was swimming more quickly than I usually walk. However, I am a cross-border financial planner. So there’s another impressive number associated with Mr. Marchand’s victory that interests me – 80,000. That’s the amount, in euros, that French athletes earn for winning gold at the Olympics this year. In USD, that works out to a little less than $87,000. So, why is this interesting to me? Well, Mr. Marchand lives and trains in the U.S., therefore it stands to reason that he is a tax resident there. The cross-border financial implications of winning such a sum are fascinating, particularly when we consider that Mr. Marchand also received (likely very lucrative) sponsorship deals from French brands before the Olympics. While you may not be an Olympic gold medal winner (or perhaps you are!), if you’re a U.S. citizen considering a move to Europe, your financial questions can quickly evolve to look like Mr. Marchand’s. If you’re starting to feel out of your element with those questions, I’d love to help answer them.
