A former Super Eagles striker, Peter Odemwingie has joined the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA).
PGA announced the admission of Odemwingie into its ranks in a video on Tuesday.
The association is the body that organises tours for professional golfers around the globe.
Speaking on his induction, the former Super Eagles attacker said he fell in love with golf during the latter days of his football career.
He highlighted the difficulty of adapting to the “loneliness” of golf after his career in a “group sport”.
“I’m really proud of all of myself and my friends who are graduating today as well. It is a long journey. I fell in love with the game,” Odemwingie said.
“I play lots of pro-ams as an amateur. I am coming from a football background. I had a decent-level career in a group sport. Now I am in a different sport, sometimes you can be lonely in golf — just you and your caddie, if you have one.
“And seeing what the PGA professionals enjoy. I pass the playing ability test, I was accepted on the programme and I was as excited that day as I am today.”
