Amateur Golfer Gets $0 for First Place Win ⛳️
This golfer just won a tournament with a $1.5 million purse but he’s got a problem Nick Dunlap is 20 years old and as an amateur golfer his first place finish wins $0 that means all 1.5 will go to second place but it’s not all bad for the Alabama golfer I’m from
4,129 to 68th place in the world golf rankings and he’s into the Masters after his win and if the college student chooses to go pro now he can get in to Signature Events and start cashing in

I think thats wrong… If he qualifies as an amateur he needs to participate as an amateur.
Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong though
Confirmed: he accepted his PGA tour card.
