R u s h J o b : The Life of a Tour Professional The life of a tour professional is not all glitter and big checks. James Nicholas is a young golf professional trying to make his way on the Korn Ferry Tour. He did not make it into the field for the AdventHealth Championship in Kansas City, Missouri, via the Monday qualifier. He was the ninth alternate, with very little chance of getting into the field and decided to fly back home to New York the following day. Arriving home his status had improved to the seventh alternate position by Wednesday evening at 7:30 PM EDT. A couple hours later at 9:30 PM EDT, he found out he was now the first alternate. He decided to return to Kansas City in the hope that a spot may open up.While sitting at LaGuardia Airport, for his return flight on Thursday morning, he learned that Eric Cole dropped out and he was officially in the field, if he could get there on time.
