Yes, if the event is a true amateur trophy only the TD should payout 100% of the entry fee through player pack and other amenities

If it is a standard C-tier there is a 45% required payout

Hi Travis. You comments have been heard enough. As Matt said below, Minimum of 85% payout of Net Entry Fees to Amateur purse (prizes + player packs) for C Tier events.

Hi Travis. You comments have been heard enough. As Matt said below, Minimum of 85% payout of Net Entry Fees to Amateur purse (prizes + player packs) for C Tier events. Not only does this event and previous event match that, they exceed it.. Matt and Prodigy provide an excellent value to the players of North Georgia. If you do not agree with or not interested in the event you don’t have to play. With your comments about the local events, I would suggest hoisting one yourself so you can find out all the entracacies for hosting an event that include finances and making sure 100+ people have a great time.
Clarified this with PDGA event support staff, my interpretation of the 45% rule was incorrect. I apologize
Travis, can you go back on all of your Reddit posts, social comments, phone calls, and emails to let everyone know you were incorrect? You sort of blew Matt and the tournament series up for not understanding what you were talking about...
Appreciate you Will.
If Zo wins, I want him audited, and I want it now.
Jackson, let's go brother! See you Sat!
Don’t think I can make it, my stupid shoulder again.
To be clear, Will, the only thing I was incorrect on was a 40% requirement. Everything in my reddit post about Zollitsch being dishonest with players was totally accurate and I stand behind every word of it. Matt called me afterwards to admit that he was in the wrong and personally apologize. The fact that he never did so publicly is very telling about his character
