[edit] Earnings in board

I assume the amounts in the board are expressed in US dollars, right? This needs to be made clearer (it doesn't suffice to mark "$" in there, since in many countries there's no automatic association with US currency). Furthermore, I wonder about the accuracy of those numbers. As the very article states, Els plays all over the world, which means that he gets paid in several different currencies. Converting all those into one single total, expressed in one single currency is not that simple (in fact, top players regularly complain about it). Is there a trustworhty source behind those numbers (the PGA? Els's official website?). In order to avoid this type of doubt, it would be better to quote the origin of the figures.

I've added a wikilink to the US dollar article, but I think the number of people who would be in doubt about which type of dollar is meant when winning figures are quoted for a US based tour would be rather small. All PGA tour events except the british Open have prizes in US dollars (including the 2 in Canada) Oliver Chettle 05:20, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
