8 Perks Of Being A PGA Tour Player

Rory McIlroy holds his ball up in a show of appreciation to the crowd while wearing a bright pink Nike top.

Even for your average PGA Tour player, experiencing life at the top of the sport must be a relatively stressful experience. There is the annual fight to keep your card, the multitude of directions you're pulled in by different parties who want your time for a variety of reasons, and then the amount of time you spend travelling to events which keeps you away from loved ones.

Not that it's all bad, of course - far from it. The prize money earned for simply making the cut will put a fair few meals in front of you, and chance to spend circa 30 weeks a year outside ultimately playing a non-contact game makes golf one of the more desirable careers for the young dreamer.
