Mr Pars has finished 2020 with a total of around US$2.5 million in prize money.
My attempt throughout the year was to try and illustrate that you don't have to play fantastic golf each week in order to make a very good living on the PGA Tour.
Mr Pars played in 25 tournaments making the cut 10 times by playing par every time he teed it up.
He made an average of just over $100,000 for each of those tournaments, which equates to around $36,000 for each of the 70 rounds he played.
I decided to do the research to prove to all my junior students that if you can play consistently 'par,' you are still going to afford more than a cheese sandwich and a beer.
Of course, the key here is that to be successful playing this game for your livelihood, no matter what happens, you must somehow still bring in an even par round. And as we all know this is easier said than done.
If you have just had a terrible row with your wife or husband, girlfriend or boyfriend or you're feeling distinctly unwell with a toothache you must still find a way of bringing in a par round.
This is my main point and one that I hammer home to all those who have dreams of playing for money.
We all know that there are days whereby we can do no wrong on the links -- putts are holed, and we get the best of bounces.
But what I try and install in my young and talented students is that it is the days when we feel lousy and hit the ball all over the place, that an even-par total must still be handed in.
Otherwise, a good cheque at the end of the week will be just a wistful dream.
The really good players can do this -- they hit probably two reasonable shots during their bad rounds but still come in with 71 or 72 and are therefore still in the tournament.
