In 2025 I will turn pro. In preparation for this, I have earned myself a permanent starting place on the Pro Golf Tour in 2024 with just three starts in professional tournaments. The national championship title at the end of the season was a perfect end to my last year as an amateur.
My tournament calendar will be even busier in the future and the overall costs will increase considerably. Also because my time as a national team player will end when I turn professional, and with it the partial assumption of costs by the golf association for some amateur tournaments.
It is therefore all the more important that as a professional I can no longer just put logos on my cap. A team of sponsors and supporters is currently being formed for my first years as a professional so that I can concentrate fully on my sporting development.
