After identifying and signing promising golfers seeking capital, Commonwealth raises money through backer investments and enters a revenue share agreement with the golfer.
The player’s share is expected to cover 2-3 years of expenses, which can include travel, lodging, caddie, meals, coaching, and other golf related costs. This gives players time to get accustomed to the highs and lows of competitive golf and not force undue pressure to immediately perform.
While like all investments there is the expectation of a suitable return, the real hope is to help launch these golfers on a long and successful pro career. For that reason, the player keeps most of any income earned on a sliding scale and once they break through with earnings, backers will see a return on their investment. This is likely expected when the golfers maintain status and perform well on the Korn Ferry Tour, and of course, the PGA Tour or LIV.
