FLORIDA - US PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem had a US$400,000 (S$611,254) drop in his compensation last year, but the US$4.8 million (S$7.3 million) in salary and bonuses was still enough to be the equivalent of No. 3 on the money list for the second straight year.
The Sports Business Journal, citing the latest tax forms the tour is required to file, said Finchem received US$1.3 million in salary, US$3.2 million in bonuses and US$240,000 in benefits. In 2006, he received about US$5.2 million, which spokesman Ty Votaw attributed to an additional bonus the commissioner received for 'extraordinary service in 2005.' Finchem made US$4.2 million in 2005, the equivalent of No. 5 on the money list.
