Is The Fall Series Working? II

Hello. What can be done to boost the Fall Series? Good question.
It does help when someone like Mike Weir wins (congrats) an event. Weir is known in more than just Canada because of the President's Cup and the Masters 2003 win.
I would do one thing to boost these events - appearance money. Pay the Mickelsons and Furyks whatever they want to come and play. Who cares if they get a little on the side?
I know the PGA Tour has a "no appearance fee" policy with its tournaments. However, the Fall Series is really crippled for attention (as I discussed last Thursday). The sponsors have not put up as much money as the earlier events, but they aren't exactly paying with petty cash. Because they aren't getting the top players through normal tactics, they should be allowed to use abnormal ways.
If they promised to give money to the individual player's favourite charity, it could be a win for everyone. The PGA Tour would get a boost to its "money donated to charity" total. The player would contribute to the charity without being out of pocket. And the tourney would get a top player and a tax writeoff. If it works, it could be tried for all events.
