Nearly two-thirds (60 percent) said they would be willing to miss the birthday of a loved one (a child, spouse or parent). More than half would now shave their heads.
Nearly a third (31 percent) would get a tattoo – visible even when clothed – while more than 10 percent would be willing to quit their job. Incredibly, around 4 percent would miss their own wedding day.
Many are willing to spend their money to play 18 holes at Augusta as well. The same fans were asked how much they would pay for a round – if they could, of course.
About 40 percent said they would be willing to spend up to $1,000, while nearly one in five fans would pay up to $5,000. Incredibly, one in fifty supporters said they would pay more than $10,000.
