Of course he may also want to go all postpro and ditch the live coverage. Then they wouldn't need to have courses with strong cell signal.
That would suck...

I wouldn't hold your breath for an immediate infusion of millions.
I'm assuming he will build upon the established tour by improving/fixing key areas and then continuing on a sustainable path.
Hopefully his clout can attract a few big fish eventually though.
There appear to be a few lines of thinking on this:
1. He's got money, so he'll spend it
2. He's got money but just bought a struggling company, so he'll make necessary improvements in hopes that it can reach self-sufficiency
3. He has money so he can influence others with money
#2 seems most likely, with the other two being inflated some in this thread like internet distance is.
Dodge was pretty open about the fact that DGPT has not been profitable yet. It sounds like they now have a deadline of 2021 to turn that around. Makes sense, you can only lose money for so long.That's more or less what I was thinking. If he's an enthusiast, he might be willing to risk losing a little money, short-term, in hopes that it pans out. Presumably he won't have to worry about cash flow, and balancing the checkbook every week.
The announcement said that Rainwater was "formerly a minority owner of the DGPT" so there already was an investment by him at some point. That people who invested in the DGPT would want new leadership certainly is understandable; Dodge seemed to have a whole wardrobe of "I'm so sorry" shirts that he has worn this year. If they still believe in the product, have the resources to pay Dodge off and have the guy they think can take over and make it turn the corner, it's the expected result.My understanding, and don't make me explain why/how, is that Rainwater was already a major investor. He is the face of a few of the old investors that reinvested into the tour under the mandate that Dodge be ousted.
A wise dude once told me people don't get rich by spending it.
