Forbes is a renowned American business magazine. Recently, the highly coveted magazine released its 30 under 30 lists for 2023. Surprisingly enough, only one professional golfer could make the cut. But the question arises, who is the lucky player?


Golf, as a sport, is renowned to be elitist in many ways. It also has limited accessibility and costs considerably higher. However, not everyone involved in the world of golf gets paid huge amounts. Golf rolls out the purses for players based on their performances. So clearly, top-level players earn way more than others. The matters of money get even more complicated when it comes to women’s golf.
