Okay, so I’ve been diving into the background of golfers lately, and Tony Finau’s name kept popping up. I knew he was good, but I didn’t know much about his early career. Specifically, I wanted to find out about his college days, so I got to work!
Digging into Tony Finau’s College Years
First, I started with a broad search, just to get a feel for things. You know, the usual “Tony Finau college” kind of search. It turns out, and this is the interesting part, he didn’t actually have a typical college golf career.
It seems like he had some offers, some serious ones, but he made a different choice. He was a really, really good high school player, but then…
- I learned he turned pro right out of high school! He was only 17!
- I found out that he bypass the typical college experience.
Then I started looking for his reasons, and after a few minutes I found out that he turned professional straight out of high school at the age of 17, after receiving offers, choosing instead to immediately pursue a professional golf career.
Man, that’s a bold move! It looks like it paid off for him, though. What a story!
