This is a wide open question and I am sure we all want to know the exact number. I have been doing some homework to get funding for my Professional Tournaments and have come up with these results:
Practice facilities and coaching are between $1200 and $10 000 per month depending on how your game is. Obviously if you working hard at it and need to spend more time with your swing coach and sports phsycologist then you are closer to the $10 000 mark and if you in great form then you can get by for $1200 a month.
On average there is a Professional Tournament to play every second weak and is most likely for full time professional golfers to play a golf tournament every second week. The entry fees are between $250 and $500 with the average travel and hotel coming to a nice number of $1000 for local golf Tournaments and $2000 for international Golf Tournaments. I know that most players travel routines are different but we like to play 1 in 3 Professional Golf Events internationally so this averages the travel and hotel fees to some $1666.66.
When we add this all up it costs us a small fortune at around $7966.66 a month to be a very competitive full time playing professional. Those of us who can't afford that number and try scrape through with the minimum amount by not traveling too far from home, Not playing enough international golf tournaments, not spending time with a sports guru and swing coach and teaching to pay for the golf tournaments really have no realistic chance of making it in the big leagues by only being able to do what we can for some $1000 a month.
The only way we make it is if the timing is perfect. If we get a golf tournament that is in the right place at the right time to offer us the opportunity after to get into the $7966.66. I still love what i do and will keep doing it as long as i can and just hope that that timing comes soon.
