Prize money

Darn right, Dave. For every person aspiring to a career in pro pool, there are probably 200 who are aspiring to one in pro golf, and probably less than 1% of them get anywhere near the paydays of which they dream.

Countless players that routinely break par on the golf course never get past the sectionals that would enable them to even try the PGA qualifying school event that would offer an avenue to a pro golf tour.

Several US amateur golf champions were not nearly good enough to make a good living from golf.
Eric Cole grinded for fourteen years on the mini-tours before finally getting through qualifying to play on the PGA Tour. Now, he's making millions! His parents were both successful pro golfers, Bobby Cole (from Great Britain) and Laura Baugh.
 
few realize how much the top pros in any sport play and practice all their lives to get that good.
