Many professional tour golfers already live the lifestyle of many retired individuals, earning lots of money through tournaments, playing golf every week, and staying at home or on the golf course whenever not playing a tournament. Professional Golfers retire at any age they feel they can to enjoy the rest of their life. Byron Nelson, a professional golfer, retired at age 34 to achieve one of his dreams of buying a ranch. Once golfers retire, nothing really changes, they just continue to play golf for the rest of their lives.
