In Amateur Golf Is It Illegal To Give A Small Money Prize For A Golf Competition?
Can cash prizes be awarded to winners of golf competitions if they do not amount to large sums?

Cash prizes cannot be awarded. Travel expenses to an event sponsored by a golf organization as well as lodging, air fare and board are acceptable in retaining the players’ amateur status.

they can either keep them or sell them back.

It is allowed but there is a limit. I’m sure a phone call to the R and A would tell you what the limit is.

Prizes in amateur events are limited to a value of £500.

Under 300$. The prizes, can be worth up to $10,000. If you accept larger amounts, you lose your amatuer status.
