    Start with joining a developmental tour like Tour Americas and work your way up with wins and leading points to then get into the Korn Ferry Tour. Do the same there and you can get your PGA Tour card. Same way if you want to go the European DP Tour route. Good luck, wishing you success.

    Agree with Dale, def want to play in some mini tour events like asher golf tour as there are a ton of good golfers on there to see how you match up

    We have 2 Korn Ferry guys at my club, they're grinding as hard as possible. You have to have 120+ club head speed with your driver at a minimum, and play to a +6 or better. You have to get in competition as soon as possible. Good Luck.

    Like the guys are saying, mini tours are a good way to see if your game is ready to compete.

    Good luck and play well Forrest

    Well, at this point you're fighting an uphill battle. Things have been tailored much more in favor of the college players than ever before with the advent of PGA TOUR U. The good news is that the rules have also changed since I tried my luck in the same endeavor. If you haven't already forfeited your amateur status, please DO NOT yet. With the advent of NIL, and acceptance of reimbursement being OK now, things have shifted to the benefit of up and coming players. You can also now defer the decision to turn pro until you have a choice to accept a large paycheck or not, rather than having to declare before entering the tournament. This allows you to continue to play regional amateur events to keep your edge while dabbling in various Tour events in order to move up. Play THE BEST competitive tournaments that you can get into. The more you cut your teeth, the better off you'll be in the long run. It will be difficult, and the vast majority of us who tread this path fall short, but it is worth the journey and, provided your game holds up, you'll have experiences the casual competitor can only dream of. My biggest piece of advice to you, though, would be to smell the flowers you compete. Appreciate the "never in a lifetime" experiences you'll have along the way. It's a long, lonely road, but it's worth it if you have the conviction.
