I think the PGA tour gives out more money for several reasons. 1. TV ratings are higher so more money there
2. Sponsors like Buick, Mercades, Nike, etc all sponsor tournaments therefore more money.
I love watching mens tennis and hate watching golf, but most people do not feel this way based on TV ratings alone. So I do not think either is overrated or underrated I just think the PGA tour gets more sponsor money to help pay for the higher salaries.
Now as far as womens golf and womens tennis I think the LPGA gets little airtime and has far less sponsors than womens tennis. I think TV ratings are significantly higher for womens tennis if only for the fact that the female tennis players attract more guys because they are generally younger and more attractive than female golfers.

some male tennis gamers are extra suited and extra extensive-unfold than others and can draw bigger crowds. Are then you definitely going to signify it would be based on the gross revenues each male participant is in all probability to strengthen? Why could desire to some new participant who's come out of nowhere earn the comparable as a participant who's been on the grand slam excursion for a decade? it somewhat works super how that's, in my view.
