If Peterson doesn’t retain his tour card, he already has a job in Commercial Real Estate ready to go.

Quail Hollow leader @JohnPetersonFW might be my favorite story in golf right now. Former NCAA champ has 3 starts left to earn another $300K. If not, he’s retiring—already has a gig lined up in commercial real estate.

former NCAA Division One Individual champion will rely on his education instead of his golf swing and head home to Fort Worth, Texas.

He has a job lined up with some buddies in commercial real estate and business development and seems content to let his life on tour go to the wayside.
