According to peer-reviewed research, only about 1 in 16,486 golfers ever transitions to top-level professional golf. Meanwhile, Korn Ferry Tour and mini-tour pros routinely spend around $150,000 per year chasing a PGA Tour card, and roughly 89% of them lose money on the pursuit annually. Take that same $150,000 per year and put it in an S&P 500 index fund for 15 years at the historical roughly 10% annual return, and it grows to about $4.77 million.
