I have a friend who played the Tour for 12 years…he has one win and has made over 12.5M and let me tell you he’s doing just fine. If you’re smart and invest properly and use your sponsorship money to help, you can pretty much be set for life by your mid-40s….and that’s not living I poverty! You also have to remember that the PGA Tour has one of the best retirement plans of any pro sports organization.
