But there is also a tidy sum of money which comes with the territory.
Even before the PGA Tour agreed to merge with cash-rich newbies LIV golf, the tour offered a cool £407,000 ($500,000) annual pay initiative for players who competed in at least 15 events.
Over the course of the season the PGA Tour has a prize pool of £20.5million ($25m).
Not to mention the numerous sponsorship which can come with the fame of being a pro golfer.

Starting out with the star with the joint-most tour wins, Tiger Woods has earned himself a more than a pretty penny over the years.
The golf legend, born in 1975, has a stunning £41m property which he can call home.
The pad, located on the exclusive Jupiter Island in Florida, United States, comes equipped an entire range of assets which would be any golf fanatics dream.

The home even comes with a four-hole practice golf course complete with six bunkers for the five-time Masters winner to practice.
However, it was only following his horror car crash in 2021, which left Woods needing emergency surgery after suffering a fractured leg and fractured ankle, that Woods realised the vastness of his home.
Speaking in his first press conference since after the incident he admitted he was finding it difficult to traverse to near 10,000 square-foot property.
He said: “I built a really nice house but I didn’t realise how big it was until you start putting crutches on.
“I am on the better side of it but still have a long way to go.”
