Johnny Manziel wants to play professional golf....

 

He says it’s a 12 year plan....

[j_giesler 45]

Maybe run him in out in a match play vs. Smiley to get a baseline on where he is now

He's actually a very good golfer. Great swing and pipes it.

[Hawkeye77 4,703]

Surprisingly he's being (maybe accidentally) smart about it - in about 2 years it would have been forgotten, lol, 12?  People will say, "I thought the guy who composed the theme for M*A*S*H* was dead!"

[the bishop 755]

I hope he makes it.  The pro-am stories might be legend.

[Qqq123xx 2,139]

JonesScott I heard will be his caddie. 

[Mustard_Tiger 313]

On a more serious note I understand that Johnny Manziel has put his alcohol and drug abuse behind him. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which, while not excusing his previous drug and alcohol fueled life, does shed some light on a contributing factor.

 

Regardless of whether he ever plays professional golf (or football), I just hope he gets/keeps his life in order.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your final pairing time: 

 

Johnny Manziel, Tony Romo and Tiger Woods. 
 

Mr. Manziel has the honour.

Can someone enlighten me on how this guy earns any income at the moment?  I’m assuming he snorted/shot up/drank/made it rain all of his nfl money. How is he living the next 12 years while trying to .... lol ..... make it on tour.

He made about 8 mil in the NFL and his parents are worth about 50 mil.

No way he has any of his own money left. Did not know about him being a lucky spermatozoa. I’ll say dead before he ever makes a penny on any tour, mini or otherwise.

JM's parents have some pretty serious money, but his grandfather has old line East Texas oil money.  G&F, tacky cheap shot.

More like, "Ladies and Gentlemen...  Tony Romo.  Nobody has seen Mr. Woods or Mr. Manziel since they left the nightclub last night."  

[MPAndreassi 771]

Johnny Golfball has a nice ring to it. Every generation needs its Daly.

 

Joking aside, it's good to see he's cleaned up his issues a bit. Hopefully he can stay on the right track. 

Per the GHIN app here’s him and his dad’s handicaps. His last score posted was December 2020.

Yes, well said. Even if he doesn’t make it nice to see him trying to be better and setting goals etc. 

[Creedo77 292]

I’m not trying to hate on the guy. I’m glad he’s cleaned up his issues 

 

However, I feel like most people have this assumption that you can just become a pro golfer. It’s a bit disrespectful to the guys grinding it out for a living.

 

Next thing you know he’ll be getting sponsor invites to PGA events. No f*cking thanks on that one.

Why when people get these crazy ideas do they feel the need to announce them?

Anybody can self proclaim themselves a pro golfer, but they have to give up their amateur status. Then they can play professional golf on the mini-tours. A lot of mini-tours are glad to have more entries because of more money in the pot. There are some serious ringers at those events that win everything. 

[MattyO1984 1,430]

Read this story last night. My first thought was who? My second was good luck to him. My third was, I am never going to hear his name again.

Barry Switzer when he was going into the NFL draft: "I don’t like his antics. I think he's an arrogant little pr**k. I’ve said that and I’ll say it again."

Point taken but you can't make it if you don't try and that's all he's indicating he's gonna do.  Giving himself a timeline of 12 years (which is kinda funny in itself) suggests he's under no illusions that it'll be either easy or that he'll even make it.  Many have tried and most have failed so the odds aren't on his side.  I would agree with you on the sponsor exemption part - that's entirely played out and not even interesting anymore.  So Johnny if you're gonna do it, do it the old fashioned way.

[Ferguson 2,216]

He's just a late bloomer.

[tungstenplug 182]

I picture him a couple years from now being about as good as Romo is (scratch, vanity +2). If he is serious about it he may get an exemption into something on KFT or low level PGA tour event like Romo, Curry, and others have. I don't have a problem with that like some people do. Might be a good candidate for a televised match with Phil and another pro/athlete/entertainer

In 12 years I’ll play him for his house . Wth.  His ego knows no bounds.  And that’s saying something coming from me.

Yea, if you live in Texas and follow football any at all and you're not an aggie, he's pretty much a laughing stock. 

[Mitchell 277]

But the guys from Golfholics said he’s “got game”...that’s a highly credible source right?

[Rob G 89 85]

The number one barrier I’ve seen from stories is money and time. He has both. He is already an ultra talented athlete so I see no reason he can’t breakthrough.
