professional golf

Question
my younger brother is a 23 year old golfer just graduated from university of northern iowa and wants to play professionally.  Needs to find some financial help to get into tourneys and transportation.  Is there a site or area I could help him finding this resource.  His name is Andy White.  Also need to find some sites for regional pro tourneys.  please help!  thanks.

Answer
Dear Mike,

Thanks for the question.  I can't help you with financial funding but as for the sites and details on professional golf tours...go to www.google.com/top/sports/golf/organizations/mini-tours/. I think you will find links to all the various tours in the United States and around other parts of the world.

The best source of financial support is probably going to come from people who know your brother best.  That would mean local business people who would enjoy supporting a young player as he gets started with his professional career.  If your brother is playing in amateur events now and he's beating the best players in his area, he should enter state amateur tournaments and get more exposure.  If he's competitive and higher levels of amateur competition, the sponsor money will find him.

Good luck to you and Andy.

Best regards,

Paul Dolman
