thank you everyone i knew he didnt i was just trying to prove it to my roomate he thought that he should play golf because he loved it not because he could get money.
One has to understand that the amateur ranks of golf were in vogue during the Bobby Jones era. Professional golfers were not celebrated as they are today. Purses were very small and the players made a great deal of their living giving exhibitions. Jones never did turn professional. He quit at the top of his game, played no more competitive golf and practiced law in Georgia.

Never.According to all accounts;Bobby Jones considered pros to
be second tier citizens in the golf world.I'm not sure if that was true.
No. He retired and became a lawyer when he was 28.
