What would you expect him to do?

JW•36 months

business class on a long haul is pretty damn nice for about 10K. Why wouldn't he? Doesn't seem the kind of guy that would load up a private plane with skanks and blow.

DByrd2•36 months

It’s a cultural thing most likely.

Probably wants to fly that sweet ANA flight from Chicago to Tokyo...

Ghost of Colby•36 months

A first class suite on ANA from Chicago is definitely worth the layover from Atlanta.

TFH•36 months

I’ve flown first class to Narita from Dallas. I’ve also flown on a Lear 60 from Houston to San Juan Puerto Rico. Lear 60 won’t make it across the Pacific but I’d be tempted to take first class on a 777 over a G-V anyway.

Japan will give him the keys to the country. Surprised they didn’t send a private jet to get him.

CWilken21•36 months

Delta flies nonstop from Atlanta to Tokyo. Why is he making a connection in Chicago?

TFH•36 months

$200,000 for a charter. Of COURSE he’s flying commercial.

atltiger6487•36 months

he has sponsors that pay him millions, and their investment just rose hugely. They can afford it.

atltiger6487•36 months

can't believe one of his main sponsors didn't set up a private jet for him.

LSUJD_04•36 months

Smart man saving money, a charter flight to Japan wouldn’t be cheap. If I had just won the Masters though I think I’d have to make an exception and go home in comfort.

TDTOM•36 months

This win is reportedly close to a billion dollar win for him. It is that big of a deal in Japan.

Dude couldn't call netjets or something?

Sauron•36 months

Not sure Netjets (or any private service) has planes with the legs to fly to Japan from the continental US. I might be wrong, but I think most of those private jets are for shorter hops overall (less than 2,500 miles). It's almost 4,000 miles from Honolulu to Japan.

TFH•36 months

@Sauron, many charter services have big enough jets. I helped research it when my company wanted to send me to Qatar

TDTOM•36 months

It is roughly 6,852 miles or 14 hours from Atlanta to Tokyo. There are planes that can make that trip. It can probably done for less than $100k. Hell, even if they got a smaller plane and had to make fuel stop it would be worth it.
