PGA Tour players are given a complimentary car for each event.   They are treated like royalty whenever they appear  for play.   They make millions of dollars in endorsements and could possibly enjoy a career that might last  40 years.   Yes, Pros do have it made !

McDermott     One of the best places to hang out at a PGA Tour event is at the practice range.   During your very first visit I can assure you that you will walk away with your jaw dropping.   These guys literally hit their drives out of sight.   Their iron shots are even more amazing.

Unless you follow one group all day you really never get to see what any one tour player is capable of.   If you want more bang for your buck the practice range is the place to be.   There, you can watch their every swing move.   Being on the practice range also gives you the opportunity to learn, which is the primary reason why serious golfers visit PGA Tour events.
