The Road To The PGA Tour

Getting to the Big Leagues in golf is a task that can be approached in many different ways. For some they start out playing professional golf in assorted mini tours throughout the country. Mini tours are essentially smaller proffessional golf leagues that don't yield nearly as much money as the PGA tour. Players are making just enough money on these minor tours to make it to the next tournament. If they don't play well in these mini tours then they might run out of money and that could be the sudden end to a dream that thousands of young golfers have. Making it to the big leagues in golf is a unique journey because there is no "draft" or team to join. The player success solely relies on him or herself. I'll be focusing on a few players stories of how they struggled to make it to where they are today. Including Kevin Streelman, Tommy "two gloves" Gainey, Anirban Lahiri, and many others.
