  It's your history. You've received it's equivalent in credits already.

  Hi,

  Your career earnings have already been credited to you at the time that you earn them, so you can't "cash in" on them again (i.e. your credits go up at same time that your career earnings do, by the x100 exchange rate). 

  The figure is just an indicator (in dollars) for what you are accruing over time in terms of credits obtained through achievements, such as tournament results and tier advancement.

  Career earnings reflect everything you have won or attained by playing World Golf Tour.  Career earnings are a combination of WGT credits, values of prizes/trips won in tournaments, and promotion bonuses earned from advancing through the tiers.
  
  Unlike Credits, your Earnings are simply a statistic and are not available to spend in the Pro Shop. For more information on the game you can always visit the Help / FAQ page found at the link below.

  Hi Willhit,

  In my case, I enter maybe 2-3 stroke play tourneys a month (and occasionally a CTTH) and try my best.  The other few credits I got from advancing tiers.  Here are some amounts for advancing tiers:

  • Hack to Amateur - 50 credits
  • Amateur to Pro - 100 credits
  • Pro to Master- 200 credits

  you probably earned a few more credits beyond tier advancement from some of the events you entered, the dollars just reflect your earned credits (divided by 100)  -Keith

  WGTadmin:

  Wrong, I'm afraid.

  A whole class of earnings, i.e. challenge wins from Matchplay, Blitz, Skins, is not included here.

  Furtheron, the display of career earnings in $$ is deceiving IMHO, misleading at least, because it creates the wrong impression that real monetary value can be earned here. In this representation, I see a clear breach of your own T&Cs which name "credits" exclusively and exclude any monetary value. While there is an official exchange rate for $$ to credits, there is none in the opposite direction.

  WGTadmin:

  Career earnings are a combination of WGT credits, values of prizes/trips won in tournaments, and promotion bonuses earned from advancing through the tiers.

  Are you serious with this? I'd like to get an explanation which WGT credits might be addressed besides tournament wins and bonuses(?)

  BTW: The only entries of career earnings in the FAQ are to contradict your first phrase. 'Nuff said.

  Your career earnings will have come from tiering up. You get something every time you do.

  Hi,

  I have been with WGT since May 2012 as of day my Earnings are $ 19.84 BUT I Have never experianced any change in my credits (except when I buy/earn) them.

  Please advice this is at variance to what you have said above.

  Hi,
  
  Not sure if I fully understand your question, I hope this helps:
  
  You reached $19.84 (or 1,984 earned credits) by scoring in tourneys and advancing in tiers. 
  
  So for example, if you placed 10th in a tourney, your dollar amount would go up by a slight amount, lets say $0.30 and your credit amount would go up by 100 times that (30 credits) at the same time.
  
  Your credits display will differ from your dollar display, not only because of the x100 factor, but also because of buying credits and equipment... these activities do NOT affect the dollar display, which again only changes when you earn a tourney or match prize or advance through a tier.
