Abstract
⺠We study the effects of the levels and the structure of prizes on the efforts of agents in tournaments. ⺠We investigate the determinants of scores of golfers using data from the Japan Golf Tour. ⺠We find that the presence of a superstar adversely affects the scores of the other players. ⺠The larger the size of the total prize, the better are the scores. ⺠The larger the marginal prizes after the third round, the better the scores in the final round.
