Tiger Woods has done more for the sport of golf than any other figure in history. Even during the worst days of his marital scandal, he still garnered headlines and publicity. And even if it did cost him lucrative endorsement deals, it hardly made him a pauper, nor did it remove him from the game that made him famous.

That means there are still plenty of young fans out there who dream of becoming the next Woods — someone with the game and the persona to become a multi-millionaire. Unfortunately for them, there is only one Tiger Woods . Other golfers can expect to see some level of success and maybe one or two in each generation will earn enough to be considered a golf super star, but that’s only one or two per generation.

This is why the old cliche of having something to fall back on is so relevant to these young dreamers. They can take that love of golf and aim for the top, but along the way they need to acquire some skills to keep them afloat if it doesn’t happen. Attending a golf management school can encompass both the dream and the fall back. These programs allow students to perfect their game with hours spent on the course with personalized training while still spending time acquiring business and management skills that can serve as an alternative career. That way, whether they succeed on the pro circuit or not, these young golfers will be well prepared for a good paying job somewhere in the golf industry.
