Tuscaloosa, AL Well the Money side of sports has gotten a full grasp in Men's Tennis, college sports is no longer what we grew up waiting for and watching during the weekdays and on Saturday's! It has become the semi-pro league's for all professional sports! You name it and the pro's have a foothold into it University of Alabama sophomore men's golfer Nick Dunlap, who became the first amateur in 33 years to win a PGA Tour event, announced Thursday morning at a press conference that he will forego his remaining college eligibility and immediately join the PGA TOUR. Dunap's first PGA TOUR event will come at next weekend's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Dunlap made the decision less than a week after winning The American Express tournament (Jan. 21). In doing so, he became the first player to win the U.S. Junior Amateur, U.S. Amateur and a PGA TOUR event while still an amateur and is the second-youngest TOUR winner since World War II (behind only Jordan Spieth). By accepting a PGA TOUR membership, Dunlap will be exempt or the season's remaining signature events, three major events (The Masters, U.S. Open and the PGA Championship), THE PLAYERS Championship and all Full-Field Events in 2024. |
