Not being snide or judging at all. I’m genuinely dumbfounded as to how someone could amass that many credits. I wasn’t aware of the TJ route. Thanks for the info.
As AnaNikolaj mentioned, the really good players can accumulate that much in relatively short period just with WGT earnings - Tournaments, Brackets, Ready-Gos and also MP/Skins Challenges against other players for credits.
As to TapJoy, I'll give you an example. I recently completed one called Puzzles and Survival. It took about 15-30 minutes per day of interaction for about 3 weeks, and I paid in $65 in real money, but I walked away with 65,904 credits, so slightly more than a 10x return over what a straight $65 credit buy through WGT is. If you can do a few of these per year they add up quickly.
I'm not chasing the Gold Putter, but this does keep me in balls/apparel/entry fees throughout the year, along with gifting clubs/balls/passes to other up-and-coming clubmates. I also use some of it to sponsor club tournaments for credits and donating prizes to a few of the multi-club events we participate in throughout the year.
